Empower a Girl in Guatemala: Education after COVID

We are making balance of the year and we want to thank you for the support given; thank you for believing in our work as a project, and above all believe in the potential of the young girls and scholarship girls.

Many people need a little nudge to dare do more, to fight for their dreams and achieve their goals. This is the case of the scholarship recipients, who were able to complete the school year thanks to your cooperation and trust.

Thanks to you we were able to make this year a reality of service and solidarity, and we are sure that what has been built in the lives of each of the scholarship recipients is a clear example of improving the quality of life. They have the ability to see and feel the needs of others, and their generosity in giving a relevant response, they also show their solidarity in their daily lives.

Having demonstrated ingenuity, creativity, teamwork, commitment to implement service actions with their family, with their fellow students and with their community, the girls are convinced that all these actions are part of their ‘Life Project’; that acting well and responsibly will open the doors to continue their professional and personal formation.

With your support we will continue our mission to improve every day, and promote opportunities for personal and professional growth in each of the scholarship girls, in addition to contributing so that the families have their own growth in communication, honesty and respect.

When we are children, we dream about what we want to be when we grow up... Firefighters to save lives, perhaps? Astronauts to reach Mars? Pilots to travel around the world? Or maybe, teachers to change lives?

As life goes on, many of those dreams will become reality, while others will be reshaped. What nobody can deny, undoubtedly, is the happiness that overwhelms us each time we achieve what we set out to do, something that was so hard to reach. It’s like taking that backpack off our shoulders, isn’t it?

In the month of November, our scholarship recipients who graduate from sixth grade and third grade perform their life project presentation, an activity where they discover their objectives and goals that will guide their actions in the short, medium, and long term. Our scholarship recipients reflect that dreams are purposes to be achieved in different stages of life, they are the motivation to get up every day, and stand tall when there’s no strength left.

The project presentations take place in front of parents, teachers, and project personnel. This presentation also allows the scholarship recipients to confront the fear of public speaking, working on their shyness, and improving their interpersonal relationships. At the end of the presentation, they receive a diploma for completing their extracurricular training during the support of the Girls’ Scholarship Project. A great way to focus on their present and future.
