About Guatemala

Guatemala’s name comes from an ancient Nahuatl Aztec word meaning “land of many trees.” This Central American country is rich in Indigenous heritage and stunning landscapes. Yet many communities face challenges such as poverty, malnutrition, and limited access to education.

Level 3 participants using the shade

Completion of the Shade structured annex.

This is the opportunity we have been eagerly awaiting to express once again our deep gratitude to each and every donor to our cause. May God richly reward each of you for your kind hearts towards our participants. With your invaluable help, we have been able to finish the covered area, which is already being used by our children and teenagers in every activity we carry out. Before, we had a rusty, dilapidated structure; now we have a sturdy, well-structured, and larger one that can accommodate all the participants. We had some complications, as I mentioned in the last update, but thanks be to God, it is already being used by the children for their lunches, tutoring, and other extracurricular activities. The children and their families are happy, knowing that both your efforts and ours have been worthwhile. God bless you; we love you in the Lord, and we pray that God will reward you for all your love and support. We encourage you to continue supporting the causes of other churches, whose help, like ours, will undoubtedly be of great benefit.
