// an illustrated talk by Ohavi Zedek Director of Youth Education, Naomi Barell
Ohavi Zedek’s award winning teen internship program sent 10 teens to Guatemala last February. Along with zip-lining, climbing volcanoes, and driving ATV’s, our teens embraced the opportunity to work with the children of the indigenous people living around Lake Atitlan. Come and enjoy Naomi Barell’s beautiful photographs while hearing about OZ teens’ amazing experience.
