Biagini said his experiences in Guatemala went from intense to almost unworldly. Certainly very sad.

“We got to go to this safe house for girls who had been sexually trafficked. I think one girl was like 10 years old and she was pregnant,” he said. “It’s that bad. Some of them, their families would just sell them off just to get food or money. So we got to go there and it was a pretty incredible experience.”

The girl’s shelter is sponsored by Kids Alive International. Biagini was keen to ask that all the organizations he dealt with in Guatemala get a mention in this article. He’d like for them to get some publicity.

“And then we went to the city dump and we saw this huge (mountain) of trash that went on for miles and you could look down into it and people were scavenging for stuff. That’s their income,” he said.

“And then on another part of the trip we went to this resort area in Guatemala. It was a city that was established by the Spanish and it became a resort. And just to see the discrepancy of the wealth. It was pretty well a full spectrum of experiences.”

Reaching out is not something new to Biagini, who doesn’t wear his Christian faith on his sleeve. Rather, he attempts to live it on a daily basis.

“In high school (The King’s Academy in Sunnyvale, Calif.), we’d go down every year to Mexico and build houses for people,” Biagini continued. “We did that for four years. It was a pretty similar experience, but not maybe quite as (intense) as Guatemala.”
