San Lucas Tolimán Guatemala
From Leigh Livick, 2025 Clinic Lead
I Care International has been invited back to serve the San Lucas Tolimán, Guatemala area the first week of March 2025. The I Care Board has approved the plan and logistics are in the works.
Unlike the clinic in 2023, our plan for the 2025 clinic is to set up two 2-day clinics in villages in the San Lucas Tolimán area (each a 30 minute drive or less from the Tolimán Hotel).
The proposed schedule is as follows:
Saturday, March 1, 2025 – Team Arrivals and Check-in at Hotel Tolimán
Sunday, March 2, 2025 – Travel Recovery, Site Visit, Augmenting Inventory with Stock at Hospital
Monday/Tuesday, March 3 & 4, 2025 – 2-day Community Clinic in Local Village
Wednesday/Thursday, March 5 & 6, 2025 – Second 2-day Community Clinic in Different Village
Friday, March 7, 2025 – Team Departure from Hotel Tolimán
Friday-Monday, March 7-10, 2025 – R&R if Desired, to be Arranged by Volunteers
Monday, March 10, 2025 – Group Flights Home
We are coordinating with the Friends of San Lucas Tolimán and Chati Cajas Cuesta (Tolimán Hotel) to identify communities both in need and with an adequate clinic facility.
Airline seats for a non-stop flight from LAX on Alaska Airlines have been reserved with departure on Friday, February 28, with arrival in Guatemala City early Saturday morning.
We are in the process of determining flights from Chicago. Lodging and meal plan costs will be announced soon.
If you are ready to return to the “land of eternal spring” (https://www.npr.org/2023/07/27/1190427910/a-postcard-from-guatemalas-lake-atitlan), please send a short email to Leigh at [email protected] or to Mary at [email protected].
The Volunteer roster is being developed NOW.
We look forward to hearing from you!!
