**EL Lustrador Foundation (ELF) Making Dreams Come True!**

Thank you to our wonderful donors and supporters for making a difference in the lives of underprivileged children in Guatemala by supporting the El Lustrador Foundation (ELF). Our mission is to provide education and help maintain schools to create a nurturing environment that encourages these children to attend classes.

ELF's dedication extends to the community living near the Guatemala City basurero (landfill) in Zone 3, where families make a living by scavenging at the landfill. We are proud to support the students at Alberto Mejia and Manuel Marcos Martinez Schools, along with the children receiving education at Las Guacamayas School in Morazan, El Progreso, Guatemala.

A special shoutout to the compassionate members of ELF's Board of Directors - René, Linnea, Eddie, Don, René Jr., and Dexter, for their unwavering commitment and generosity.

President Rene Corado's recent visit to Guatemala in February was truly touching as he personally handed out scholarships to the deserving children. During his visit, he pledged to enhance the learning environment by providing new desks, fixing bathrooms, and installing a water tank at Las Guacamayas School. Additionally, plans are underway to construct snack rooms at Alberto Mejia school, ensuring that the kids have a comfortable space to enjoy their meals.

In our continuous efforts to support education, ELF has also collaborated with the brave volunteer firefighters of Alotenango, Guatemala. From purchasing ambulances to acquiring UTVs for emergencies in the Fuego Volcano region, every contribution has made a significant impact on saving lives.

As we eagerly await the school directors' feedback on their specific needs, we want to express our readiness to assist whenever and however we can. Together, we believe that education is the key that unlocks the door to countless dreams.

Thank you once again for your unwavering support for the future of the Guatemalan children. With your help, we are shaping a brighter tomorrow, one child at a time!
