Stetson Gallery is pleased to announce a new display of compelling photos and memoirs, “STORIES OF COURAGE: FACES OF HOPE GUATEMALA 2017" will be on exhibit February 27th- March 2018. The photographs document the quiet heroes met along this groups special journey.

The travelers include Linda and Jack Weltner, Nancy DeMuth, Tricia Sullivan, Reverend Wendy Von Courter, Mary Zelewski and Jean Hamburg from the Marblehead UUCM Church and were joined by Brenda Painchaud from Newburyport along with Jan and Melody Constant of Kansas City, Missouri. Each image and story shares personal time spent at three destinations: “El Amor de Patricia Children’s Home,” a home to help bring well-being education and stability to neglected children, the rural impoverished Yalu village where bunk beds were provided for children who had been sleeping on the floor and lastly, with the valiant staff and students at "Long Way Home School," a school built entirely from recyclable materials. It is seen the programs and groups they chose to assist were incredibly worthy organizations. Where daily challenges seem
unending, the photos and stories capture determination, kindness, joy and real community.

The opening reception for “STORIES OF COURAGE: FACES OF HOPE GUATEMALA 2017” will be held Sunday, March 4th, from noon to 2 p.m. at Stetson Gallery in the Unitarian Universalist Church of Marblehead, 28 Mugford St., Marblehead. Meet the Travel Team who are pleased to share this unique journey.
