A local event is raising money to help build homes, support health care and education in Guatemala.
Howard Winters and his wife Jeannelle Romain started Houses to Homes Canada in 2019.
In the first year they were listed as a registered charity over $30,000 was raised.
Winters says they helped build five houses, contributed to a school and have donated food to families in need.
As a way to raise money for Houses to Homes Canada a golf tournament was launched last year.
The second annual Guatemalan Open will take place at Whitetail Golf Course in Eganville on Saturday, August 29th.
Winters says once they’re able to travel again they will be making two trips per year to Guatemala to build as many homes as they can.
Romain encourages anyone who is interested in volunteering to help build homes in Guatemala or who wants to make a donation to reach out by phone (613-295-8618) or email (housestohomes@gmail.com).
More information about the second Guatemalan Open fundraiser golf tournament can be found by following the events Facebook page.
