2019 Paperitalo Papermakers' Mission Trip to Guatemala 

Ken Johnson, first time attendee, 2018 said this about the experience:

Jim,

I've done a lot of things I am proud of, but joining your group in Guatemala was the best thing I have ever done. I plan to join you again next year, and hopefully my grandson will also be able to come. Thank you.

Best Regards,

Ken Johnson
