The School Walls Are Going Up!

The children in the small mountain community of Bejucalito are very excited as they see the walls of their new school going up.



Currently, each grade is taking turns attending the small school (which is a tin shack) because there is not enough space to accommodate all of the students. Director of Feed The Children Guatemala, Efrain de los Rios, says, “When I visited the children of Bejucalito this week, I could see the excitement in their eyes as they gazed across the yard to watch the construction workers – knowing that soon they will have a new school where they can all attend at the same time. This is the project of their lives and they will never forget this gift. Thank you FTC Canada for investing into the future of these children.”



FTC knows that without education children cannot succeed. It is very exciting to be making a lasting impact in this Guatemalan community, where the gift of education will be received by many generations.
