Winter Scholarship Fundraiser

November 25th, 2019 - January 1st, 2020

The Winter Scholarship Fundraiser is complete! In review, your donations are currently sending 4 scholarship students to high school in Guatemala. We feel that giving students access to education is one of our most important missions because it enables the students to empower themselves, their families, and their communities. The scholarships are powerful and important but it has been stretching the budget and making it difficult to meet the food and building needs of the center. 

During the fundraiser,  about ½ of the cost of sending four kids to school was raised and one sustaining donor joined the team! These donations will allow us to continue the scholarships as well as open up some more of the sustaining funds to go to general management of the center. The donations received are such a blessing. 

You all are doing such amazing things in Jocotanango, Guatemala. We feel honored to know you and work beside you. Thank you for sticking with this organization and caring about students and families in a place you haven’t seen. You are a generous bunch! The students don’t take this opportunity for granted. We can't wait to share all the amazing things they accomplish in the future.
