Students in class

Dear friends,

In 2019, together we achieved great impact - thank you. Please see the below:

Our director, Julio, is taking the quality of our education to the next level, highlights include the English Dual Immersion Program and emotional intelligence.
We received 279 volunteers who dedicated more than 5,000 hours to supporting education, particularly in our Dual Immersion Program.
We welcomed 70 new sponsors to our Sponsorship Program, providing our students with the support they need to succeed.
We launched our PenPal program, creating a global exchange and support network for students and long-term relationship with donors.
We completed the first year of our Bachillerato (high school) program.
We have seen enormous improvements via our Skills for Success Program. Teachers are getting more creative, kids are speaking more in English and classes are more interactive. We are looking forward to the next school year when we can see more progress.

First highlights of 2020:

From all of us at Niños de Guatemala, thank you for your continued support and for helping our students shine. You are helping to change the world!!
January was the start of the new school year, and we've welcomed back 550 students. Our primary schools have added an additional hour to their classes now ending at 1.30pm.
As of 2020 we officially have 26 students enrolled, providing them with the skills they will need for life after they finish school.
In January the school opened its doors after one month of holidays. Thanks to a generous donation, we've received over a 100 new backpacks to give to the students who needed them the most.

We very much are looking forward to continue the work we do, and will keep you updated on all that is happening in our schools and our Skills for Success Program! Thank you for your continued support of Niños de Guatemala.
