Empower a Girl in Guatemala: Education after COVID

The Guatemalan artisan confectionery stands out for the variety of agricultural production crops and the fertile soils, so artisans were ingenious in taking advantage of the natural resource, making sweets with fruits and seeds that are produced in our country, which are: Figs in honey, pepitoria candy, marzipan, chamomile candy among others.

The recipes to elaborate the typical sweets are panela, sugar, vegetable and firewood since they are elaborated at high temperatures.

In our educational recipe, two ingredients can never be missing: calling and commitment. These two ingredients are always present in the actions of the scholarship technician, achieving the school permanence of girls and young women, through the sensitization of teachers capable of reinventing themselves and committing themselves every day to help the real needs of their students, so as not to repeat patterns year after year, course after course.

At the same time, monitoring of Educational Centers is carried out, to highlight their capacity for innovation, which is capable of converting traditional education into something different.

All this must be accompanied by enthusiasm, which is the essential ingredient to never lose heart in attempting to achieve the best educational results. Enthusiasm is the salt of education.

There is no single recipe for good education, but the most important thing is to “Educate” to see a child or young girl full of goals, dreams and fantastic stories.

Thanks to your support and trust! in our work we have achieved that 4,025 girls continue their studies at the primary and basic levels.

“Education and cooking have a lot in common. A good teacher and a good cook are those who know how to mix the right ingredients and in the right proportion to achieve the desired result.”
