San Juan del Obispo

San Juan del Obispo is a small village (pueblo) in Guatemala.

[1][2] It is located in the department of Sacatepéquez, close to the departmental capital, Antigua Guatemala.

Francisco Marroquín, the first bishop of Guatemala, resided in San Juan del Obispo (hence the name).

A long string of overseas volunteers have lived and worked voluntarily in the village, providing education and a safe environment for children from poor homes in the areas surrounding the volcano side.

The residence is designed for young adolescent boys, survivors of sexual exploitation, trafficking, and irregular migration.
