KERNERSVILLE — Bishop McGuinness High School sponsored a week-long service trip in June to Tizimi, Yucatan, Mexico. Forty students, along with six parents and teachers, joined for a mission to the land of the Maya.
The students taught English in a local school, taught Bible stories to the Maya children, painted houses and built a classroom out of earth bags for the local village.
“We had a time for reflection each night, and although each personal experience was different, I was extremely impressed with the students desire to serve,” said Martin Mata, the school’s campus ministry leader.
The Bishop McGuinness student body has served the Triad community with more than 10,000 hours of service this past school year.
