An update from Itzapa, Guatemala


When we saw the update below, we were incredibly proud to be supporting a fantastic project and such amazing children! Brilliant news of what can be achieved when the opportunity is available. Education is a right not a privilege.

Did you know only 60% of Guatemalan children who enter first grade actually make it to sixth grade of primary school...if they make it to school at all. Of that 60% only 35% move onto to secondary school afterwards.


In Itzapa, last Tuesday, all 12 of our sixth grade class graduated and all 12 will start secondary school in January...100%...can't wait to watch them grow into young adults!
