Let's celebrate Guatemala!

Let’s celebrate Guatemala!

Civic activities held during the month of September in schools play a fundamental role in the comprehensive development of children, as they not only promote academic learning but also strengthen their sense of belonging, identity, and commitment to the nation.

Our Teachers recognize the importance of these activities, and with enthusiasm and dedication, they prepared our students to participate in events such as traditional and modern dances, the selection of the Independence Queen, cultural performances, recognition of our national symbols, the raising of the national flag, and parades that filled the streets of their communities. All of these activities promoted the active participation of children in the celebration of the country's patriotic festivities.

It's especially significant to mention that in the area of Huehuetenango, Guatemala, our Teacher Albertina Mérida guided one of her students, who was selected to represent her peers and won the title of Independence Queen at her community school. During these events, our Facilitator Teachers, in collaboration with the schools, worked together to create decorations and adorn the main venues where the different activities were held.

All of this is part of our proud Guatemalan traditions!

Thank you for standing with us!

Planting Trees, Planting Magic

Planting Trees, Planting Magic

Magical Classroom Guatemala

Since we launched our "Planting Trees, Planting Magic" project, Aula Mágica has embraced a beautiful and meaningful tradition: planting trees with our children. This activity, which we have carried out over the past few years, not only beautifies our communities but also instills a love and respect for nature in our young ones.

This month, we have already begun planting trees in Quiché, thanks to the great support of The Ripple Effect Inc. In the coming weeks, we will extend this initiative to Sololá and Huehuetenango, continuing our mission to create a positive impact in our communities. We always select tree species that are well-suited to the ecosystems of the communities. Each child and facilitator has the opportunity to plant two or more trees to achieve this beautiful goal.

Our tree planting activity has several important objectives. We aim to teach our children about the importance of caring for the environment and the benefits of reforestation. Through this activity, we seek to foster a deep connection with nature, teaching them that every tree planted is a valuable contribution to our planet. Moreover, this experience provides them with practical skills and a sense of responsibility and pride in their surroundings.

By planting trees, we are not only sowing seeds in the earth but also in the hearts of our children. These activities strengthen the sense of community and teamwork, and each growing tree is a symbol of hope and growth for the future.

You can support us in continuing this wonderful initiative and help our children learn and benefit from these valuable experiences. Together, we are planting a greener and more promising future for Guatemala. Your donation will greatly assist in acquiring the trees to plant, the land to plant them on, and organizing all the necessary workshops for the success of our project.

Let's create magic for our environment!
