(KAIR) -- An Atchison couple is in a process of a two month visit in Guatemala in an effort to improve education in the country.
Jack and June Bower began their journey in early January.
We spoke with the Bower’s via Facetime webcam Thursday.
They joined us from a public Wi-Fi hotspot, since internet access is very minimal in the country.
June says the trip has been one she’s taken for the last several years.

She says a majority of her work is assisting teachers.

Jack says they want to address the problem of education stopping too soon.

June says she uses the Montessori style of teaching to students.

People can follow the Bower’s experiences on their blog, juneandjackguatemala.blogspot.com.
The Bowers’ will return to Atchison in early March.
They will be our guests on this week’s Sunday Spotlight at eight in the morning and one in the afternoon on KAIR Radio.
