when their time at Casa San Andres was over because they felt like they were leaving their own little brothers and sisters. Another lesson, Bourdon noted, that students will learn during their mission trip to Guatemala concerns what the really im- portant things in life are. Part of themission requirements for participants is they must leave at home their cellphones and other typical «must have» electronic devices and games that are very much a part of Western culture, along with jewellery, makeup and other «necessities of modern life» and learn to live without them. «We don’t want to be ‘flashy’,» said Bour- don, adding that the week at Casa San An- dres will teach the students to enjoy amuch simpler lifestyle. «Brand names don’t matter to anyone down there.» While in Guatemala, the students will be expected to help out at the orphanage in various ways. That includes working in the garden, working in the kitchen, working on finishing a visitor’s house at the orphanage, and helping the staff with special needs for the children at Casa San Andres.
Four students from Saint Francis Xavier Catholic High School are spending their March break below the Equator, away from the Canadian snow and the cold almost- spring wind.

during themission trip, is the idea of family. The children may be orphans, due to one reason or another, but they do not see them- selves as orphans or as alone in the world. They have each other and the guardians who care for them in the village. «They consider themselves a family,» Bourdon said, adding that for students from North America who took part in past mission trips, this is one of themost impressive things about the children. Some students who have no siblings of their own at home even cried
