Changing lives through Cricket - UK GUA tour 2020
Donation protected
Santiago Sacatepequez, Guatemala, is a town infested with gang violence, poverty, and corruption. It's also the only town in Guatemala where they play cricket. That's right, Cricket. Luke Humphries and his father, Russell, missionaries to Guatemala, started Cricket 7 years ago as well as providing free education to over 330 children, living in extreme poverty.
Luke and Russell formed the first recognized, international team composed of native Guatemalan young people, keeping them off the streets and out of gangs, giving them a future and a chance to change the course of their lives for good.
ESPN had this to say about their work:

This gofundme page has been made to raise enough money to take this young, developing side to the UK to play a series of 8-10 games with different Cricket clubs throughout England and Wales. Not only will it be a life-changing experience for these young players (most of whom have never stepped out of their village), but also will pave the way to lifting Guatemala to new level in the world of cricket.
Thank you for joining us on the epic adventure!
