We dedicate a portion of our profits to support several social and ecological projects in and around Quetzaltenango, encouraging our students to participate and volunteer in the following programs:
Education for the children: We believe that education is a crucial way to encourage a peaceful social change. Many Guatemalan families cannot afford the costs of school for some or all of their children. Juan Sisay provides support to these families by paying school fees and buying uniforms, books and schooling materials. We also prepare a special dinner for these families every three months.
English for children: Speaking English can be an incredible asset for Guatemalans, however private tuition is pretty expensive for most. With the support of our students we provide English lessons in a local public school for children aged between 9 and 13 years. |
