Zach first volunteered in Guatemala in 2002 in Santo Tomas Suchitepequez, in the south Pacific coastal region of Guatemala. It was in the Clinica Ezell that he met Josefina who was working as a dental assistant.  When he returned the following year, they were married.

Josefina and Zach will celebrate their daughter Marisol’s first birthday with family in Santo Tomas la Union in Suchitepequez on December 10th.

When asked about his Hospitalito experience, Zach replied….   “I am very impressed by the scope of medical services provided to the people who otherwise would not have access.”
