Help 570 children with their educational licenses

Dear Donors:

As you know, 2022 was a year of big changes. Last year we were able to have students return to classes in hybrid mode, according to the Guatemalan government stipulations due to Covid restrictions. Thanks to your donations we were able to continue providing our 570 students with holistic education and supporting them with their classroom materials and a meal during school hours.

2023 is here and we are happy to be back with new goals and more energy than ever. Classes will start on January 11th and we cannot wait to have our students back full-time in the classrooms. We have extended their time in school to start recuperating the lost learning, with extra classes focusing on communication, English, and math. 

This year we will prioritize math and bilingual activities and will provide our students with the necessary educational tools. We will launch a new teacher development program so they can have a better impact on our students' learning. Our program "Breaking the Cycle of Poverty" has allowed us to operate and maintain our three schools and staff and benefit our 570 students and their families.

Thank you again for your continued support. We are looking forward to seeing what the next months have in store for us! 

Dear reader,

It's more than two years since the pandemic transformed our lives. Change of course brings challenge, and this can make us feel lost and confused; we have all probably felt like this at some stage, yet we are grateful for the support of friends. So thank you indeed for enabling us to continue helping over 550 students.

 

The struggle to provide education to our students during this Covid period has really brought into focus the need for technology in our classes. Fortunately, we have been able to set up online learning to supplement the face-to-face learning within the physical classroom.

 

Our experience since launching this project a couple of years ago has shown the clear need to streamline the online platforms at all levels for the 2022 school year. With our kids back in their classrooms we are able to continue using their educational licenses, and we are very grateful for your financial assistance with this.

 

We are delighted to keep working together and offer Tzunun licenses for students from 8th grade to 11th grade. This means that 113 students have accessible content at home, and in school, to promote effective and creative learning.

 

Tzunun is a platform that delivers the curricular content as required by the Educational Ministry, and is beneficial for students and teachers alike. Tzunun helps us deliver dynamic content and innovative ways to learn, for example, using videos, games, worksheets, and guides for the teachers.

 

We are constantly looking for relevant material to ensure better learning opportunities and outcomes for our students. Next in line are our 7th graders; we are counting on your support to give them a better education. Our fundraiser is still open, and we humbly invite you to donate at this link for us to achieve our goals. And as we develop the hybrid education modality, our doors are always open for you to come and see the impact of your ongoing contributions.
