Hello everyone, we are very happy and grateful to you for your support and contribution to the project. For this reason, we would like to tell you an impressive story, which has shown us once again the fruits that “Let's be Ready” has left. This story is told to us by Lidia Bacajol, teacher of the project and mother of one of our oldest students...
My name is Lidia, I am an elementary school teacher and I started working in the Let's be Ready program in 2010.
I have 4 children. My first daughter is Lidia Abigail Sanjay Bacajol was born on July 2, 2006. At the age of 4 she started studying at the “Let's be Ready” Child Stimulation Center in Santo Domingo Xenacoj, where she studied for 2 years, her teacher was Sara Tun (who is currently the school principal).
She was always a charismatic, fun and collaborative child, when she got home she would tell me everything she did at school. From 2013 to 2018 she attended elementary school at the Escuela Oficial Urbana Mixta.
Her dream as a child was to be a teacher, she collaborated and helped her teachers in her classroom, socialized with all her classmates and actively participated in all activities.
From the year 2019 to 2021 she studied her basic level at the Instituto Mixto de Educación Básica por Cooperativa “IMEBCO”, the second year was a little difficult for her because of the pandemic, but she made it successfully.
From 2022 to 2024 she studied her teaching career at the Instituto Normal Para Señoritas Olimpia Leal “INSOL”, in Antigua Guatemala, with effort and dedication. She graduated as a Pre-Primary Education Teacher in December 2024.
Currently, this year 2025, the project “Let's be Ready; has given her the opportunity to work as a teacher and gain experience, working in the village of Cruz Ayapán, Loma Alta in San Juan Sacatepéquez.
I am very grateful to the project and to all the sponsors who make it possible for our escuelitas to be part of the academic and professional growth of many children, as well as that of my daughter.
This is just one of the many children who have been with us. Living proof that the project does work and that it is necessary in each of the communities. That is why we need you to continue donating, to offer a better future to our children.
Blessings.
