HELLO FROM LOS PATOJOS IN GUATEMALA!
In 12 years we have grown from 3 students to over 400!
We celebrated our 12th anniversary with our students and their families in the Los Patojos way, with art festivals, chess tournaments, music festivals, food and games shared amongst all our children and youth.
Despite tumultuous times in Guatemala, we are persisting and keeping our goal of freeing these children from a life with little hope to one of a future full of possibilities.
We are teaching these children how to find their passion, how to persist at becoming the best they can through hard work and dedication and how to never give up. We can see these traits in our first graduating class of 30 students who will complete their 9th Grade in October, another first for Los Patojos!
Thank you to all our loyal friends all over the world who have made our success possible. We truly appreciate the support and we promise to continue to work every day to give these children and their families an education complete with love and hope for a better future.
