Last week we were blessed
with a special visit from representatives from Avivara, the organization
in Guatemala that promotes educational support of their struggling
schools. This year we committed to helping a very poor school, San Jose
El Yalu. Last fall we raised $600.00 for
this school and with that money they were able to purchase colorful new
tables and chairs for their preschool program. Our students were able to
see pictures of the delivery of these items and the smiles on the faces
of the children as they made use of them. Our visitors shared a video
and power point from the community of El Yalu and we were able to see
first hand the poverty in this country. It was inspiring to see the joy
on the faces of the children as well as their gratitude and eagerness to
learn. We hope to be able to continue to support them in the future!
