GSSG: Guatemalan Student Support Group

GSSG: Guatemalan Student Support Group We are a non-profit that partners with impoverished Guatemalan communities to provide greater educational opportunities for their children/young adults.

There is no country on earth whose majority population is both well-educated and impoverished. Unfortunately the education available to the Maya and other poor Guatemalans is wholly inadequate to the task of providing an education sufficient to raise them out of poverty. Many, perhaps most, students cannot multiply and divide, spell, punctuate a sentence, find anything on a map, or tell you the significance of any date in history earlier than their own birthday.

This year, 2023, we recruited 6 students to receive scholarships to attend diversificado (similar to US high school). In addition to their scholarships, we will help to secure their success by offering workshops on different topics. Our first workshop was just last week, where we reinforced grammar and writing skills. We also learned that some of our new students have never been to a movie nor even have left their remote villages. Stories like these make us proud to be supporting these kids, and encourages us to expand our reach.
Thank YOU for your continued support and donations.

El Porvenir is too small to have its own school, so students usually walk about 20 minutes to the next village to attend school. However, because the students have to cross a river that can sometimes flood, some village families donโ€™t allow their youngest children to make the crossing. Mynor saw that these children were falling behind in terms of education, so he decided to start teaching them the basics of reading and writing once a week. His class has already grown from the four students shown in the photo below to eight students, and he is now looking for funds to purchase better educational materials to help his students improve their reading and writing skills even more.
