Our students are back to in person learning!
On January 25 the new school year began in Guatemala, and our students returned for in person learning! With schools in Guatemala still shut down, and not anticipated to open for in person learning until 2022, we are thrilled that we are able to offer in person lessons. Students are meeting for shorter periods of time, in small groups, socially distanced and in open air classrooms. Our staff has built an outdoor sink which the students are using. We are grateful to our staff, and to all our supporters who sponsor a child! Thank you for helping make this return to in person learning possible!
Hurricanes Eta and Iota destroyed several villages in Peten, displaced families, and contributed to the ongoing food crisis that is affecting families already reeling from the devastating effects of COVID-19. Through generous donations from our supporters, and using our education center as a community gathering point, this past December our staff assembled and distributed over 600 food and personal hygiene bags to families who lost what little they had. Thank you for those who generously contributed, and thank you to our staff for being messengers of hope.
