Education for 400 children in Guatemala

As June draws to a close and we commence the second half of the year, what better time for the children to show their gratitude for our local teachers on Day of the Teacher. For the children it is seeing the circle being completed as their teachers were once the same as them, from the same poor homes and conditions. Many of our local teachers were once part of our school many years ago. It was indeed an emotional day!

The second set of exams were completed and the results continue to impress. Thanks to continued donations through GlobalGiving we are able to provide the necessary materials for the children’s classes and education. We have a lot we want to provide in the future so than you all for your continued support!

Obviously, our long-term aim is to provide sustainability for the school and its costs, hence our big drive in investing in sustainable income plans, which not only benefit local families and help to cover costs of further education, though also help to cover the school’s costs, including teachers’ salaries, materials, food and fruit etc.

So to make this goal a real possibility, here is some excellent charitable news from GlobalGiving who have $110,000 to match donations by 50% from 9am EDT on Wednesday 12^th July whilst funds last! If you want to support the Seven Continents Charity Challenge 2017 for sustainable income plans, please do donate to this page from the time and date stated previously and we should get 50% bonus – brilliant!

Have a fantastic summer, cheers!
