EDUCATION Guatemala has one of the highest illite racy and lowest school enrollment rates in Latin America, primarily due to the high cost of attending school which prevents many indigenous families from receiving an education. We strongly believe that education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty that plagues the country and can create a better future for children and their families. That is why we promote education in each of the communities we work by facilitating sponsorship for hundreds of students who otherwise would not have a chance to attend. A student sponsorship covers the cost of enrollment fees, requisite school materials, supplies and uniforms, regular monitoring of school work and progress by our school teachers, and provides students with access to a feeding program as well as general educational support as needed. One of the most rewarding aspects of sponsoring a student is how sponsors get to know them personally and see firsthand how their generosity can positively affect the student's and their family’s lives. We provide various ways in which sponsors can form this personal bond with the student, including sending regular updates of their school report cards, giving the option to write letters directly to them, and letting sponsors know about their current family’s living situation on a regular basis. We also invite sponsors to travel to Guatemala and meet their student and their family. |
BRIEF HISTORY OF H4G SCHOOL
This year, 2018, Hope4Guatemala Ministry took a step of faith of launching a pre-school for the little ones of the community of Ebenezer. This has been a dream of the community for a very long time due to the lack of a school in this village and the remoteness of the schools in other villages. This last circumstance has been a major obstacle for parents to send their children to school, besides the fact of the danger to be assaulted or abused by delinquents.
This year we witnessed the first graduation of Kindergarten in the community of Ebenezer. Fifteen little ones had the privilege to graduate. What an excitement it was for them, for their parents and for us. A true miracle! To God be the glory!
Now we look forward to facilitate for our precious students the entire Primary School, in order to help them grow in wisdom and knowledge before God and men. The challenges are great and the vision is way beyond our capacities, but we are totally convince that there is nothing impossible for our God and with Him we will gain the victory.
Due to the poverty of the families, we do not charge a school fee. That is why School Sponsorship is so important to us. This first year we have a total of 40 students. Next year, God willing, we will double the number of this year.
