In 2023, UIW students and faculty members traveled on an inaugural mission to Guatemala to help aid indigenous communities by collaborating with Little Angels of Mary, a nonprofit organization operated by UIW alumni Edwin Mendoza Hipp and Darlene Jasso Mendoza. This summer, UIW community members returned for a second solidarity trip to aid in Little Angels of Mary’s efforts. The organization strives to be an instrument of God’s love by providing nutritional support and quality education to disadvantaged children from indigenous communities in Guatemala. #TogetherWeAreOneWord #LivingTheMission
