SewHope in the News
SewHope and Kids Coalition Against Hunger are sending 250,000 meals
to Guatemala in late 2024.
|
Students at Mercy College in Toledo, Ohio contributed 12,000 meals to the shipment during their Heritage Week packing event.
"Raising his hands in a quick and informal blessing, Michael Burwell, executive director for Kids Coalition Against Hunger, consecrated the volunteer’s mission before they began packing.“These are my hands,” he said, with everyone repeating his words and gestures. “And today I will use them to serve.” With a few more words of encouragement, Mr. Burwell energized the groups of meal packers, who took turns spooning parts of the meal portions into funneled bags." |

New 5th Grade Classroom is Under Construction!
What began as an after-school reinforcement program on a front porch in 2007 is now an accredited, independent Guatemalan primary school. 125 students, in grades K-4, are being taught a full Guatemalan curriculum by some of the most qualified teachers in Peten. Our students' learning is enhanced with access to personalized, online programs such as Khan Academy and Raz Kids, small group lessons, hands-on agriculture projects on SewHope's property and the opportunity to learn from local professionals about career paths. In 2025 we will add 5th grade, providing another 20 students the opportunity to receive a quality education, free of charge. |
