By Rene Corado | President of the Board
The El Lustrador Foundation (ELF) is helping underprivileged children in Guatemala with their education. ELF is raising money to provide for these needs and to keep the schools in good physical shape to encourage the children to attend and keep them healthy. ELF continues to work with the community that lives adjacent to the Guatemala City Basurero, or landfill, and the kids who attend Alberto mejia and Manuel Marcos Martinez School. The families in this community scratch out a living by scavenging at the landfill, and their children attend the local school. In addition, ELF is helping Las Guacamayas School in Morazan, El progreso, Guatemala.
Many Thanks to all of you, the donors from the Board of Directors of ELF-- Rene, Linnea, Eddie, Don, Rene Jr., and Dexter.
In February our President Rene Corado traveled to Guatemala to personally delivery the scholarships for the Guatemalan children. This time, he gave school supplies for all the students of Las Guacamayas School in Morazan. In addition, we will buy new desks, fix the bathrooms, buy a water tank for the school but by instructions of the Director of the school we will wait with all the improvments to see if the new goverment will provide some help doing some of these improvements.
Also, the Director of Alberto Mejia school ask Rene to wait with the help and see if they get help by the new goverment because looks like things like eductaion are improving in Guatemala with the new President.
we are ready to help when both of the directors tell us they are ready and what they need.
Thank you again for your support with our Guatemalan children. Education is the key to open the door of the dreams.
