Phase 1: Disaster Relief

Hurricane Lisa made landfall in Belize City and northern Guatemala, and GEM quickly deployed to assist. Shipping containers have left Miami, destined for Puerto Barrios, which will bring essential supplies to all those affected in the region. The GEM team has been on the ground since November 4th, distributing aid, assisting affected families, meeting with local government officials, and planning ahead on how to assist long-term in Belize and Guatemala.
