A group can be the best way to travel and volunteer. The bonus of working with New Development Experience is that we can design a very unique experience to meet your group's needs.

In particular our Spanish Language and Family Homestay Experience as well as our Impact Programs; the Artisan Experience and the Insight and Impact Experience can all be arranged for groups of up to ten participants. These are perfect group trips for schools, alternative spring break and Church mission trips. And all profits are donated to Community Enterprise Solutions’ development entrepreneurial and educational development initiatives in Guatemala. But if you want something more specific to suit your needs we can arrange the perfect program for you…

Is your group looking for a little extra adventure? Not a problem.

Guatemala offers amazing hiking, kayaking, canoeing, rafting, volcano climbing, mountain biking, jungle trips etc etc etc. One of the most incredible aspects of Guatemala is its geographic diversity and limitless outdoor adventure opportunities.

Is your group interested in hands –on development work? Not a problem.

The founders and same people who will be guiding you on your trip are development workers as well. Through Community Enterprise Solutions and all of the great contacts that we have made working in this field in rural Guatemala for over five years we can offer you limitless opportunities to help out. Build stoves, give vision tests, teach children, help local artisans, etc etc. If you want to give some great folks a hand, we can design the program for your group.

Is your group interested in visiting local artisans? Not a problem.

New Development Experience works with and has great contacts with dozens of artisan organizations. We can guide you on visits to weavers associations, a glass factory cooperative, a candle making group, a recycled card business, a family ceramics business etc etc. If you want to see Mayan artisans at work…just contact New Development Experience and we'll custom design a trip for your group.

The point is…..just tell us what your group is interested in and we can set it up for you. We know Guatemala better than any other organization out there and are passionate about the country as we live and work in Guatemalan development every day.

Please don't hesitate to contact us so that we can find out exactly what you are looking for and provide you with a variety of options.

Perfect for Group Adventures!

Community Enterprise Solutions Hurricane Stan Response

Excerpts from CE Solutions report to donors from Executive Director, Greg Van Kirk.

"...Since the damage that Stan caused has come to light we at CE Solutions have been struggling to decide where to focus our resources (and not lose sight of our real mission) based on where we can truly add value."

"As you know, we are a development organization and not a relief organization. This distinction is extremely important. We don't donate things but rather provide the training, logistical support and resources necessary to local folks so that they can create sustainable institutions and businesses that help their communities improve from an economic and educational perspective."

"We are a very small organization with little funding but we can add great value in time s like this and do it quickly. Others are more adept at securing donations, just as others may have ideas for how to build a stove etc, but we are very adept at execution and implementation. Our forte is turning concepts into reality where people truly benefit."
