   We carefully screen and select Guatemalan families to be sure you will be clean, comfortable and secure. You will have a private room with bathing privileges and three meals daily Monday through Saturday. Please Note: On Sundays the host family does not provide food. The drinking water is purified and your home hygienic. Those on a vegitarian diet can be comfortably accomidated.
