Hi! My name is Josue.
To me, Los Patojos means studying, playing, having fun, and teamwork. What I love about Los Patojos is working with teams and having freedom. With this, I say goodbye and I hope that someday you can come visit us. We look forward to it!
P.S. My name is Josué. I am 10 years old and I am in 5th grade.
The first quarter of the school year at all of our projects was amazing, but we want you to see it in person!
Pictures and videos are awesome, but there's nothing like being there in person. Will you join us on our next trip?
We're going to Los Patojos this August from the 3-7. This incredible school is located just outside of Antigua, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which is an hour from the capital and just a two hour flight from Miami!. During the trip, we will tour the school, meet the director, staff and teachers, spend time with the students, and meet fellow supporters from Guatemala and around the world. We'll also participate in cultural activities unique to the area for everyone to have that full, 'once-in-a-lifetime' experience. We promise you won't want to miss it! Check out photos with Ambassadors from our recent trips below.
Los Patojos | Guatemala | Next Trip: August 3-7
The past couple weeks, the youngest students have been learning about numbers, colors, respect, and community. They made paintings, decorated planters, and learned how to clean up. Another class learned about cooking, recognizing strengths and weaknesses in a team, and dialoque for communication. Students at Los Patojos learn not only the core curriculum, but also soft skills that will help them thrive in their communities and careers. Five students who have been with the program from the very beginning were recently hired by Grupo H, a local company with high remarks for the youth, saying that they are some of their best employees and will be the first ones in line for promotions!
People Improvement Organization | Cambodia | Next Trip: Fall 2016
There are now 126 students studying in Grades 7-12 and 4 University students! These students graduated from the program you are supporting and continue to advance in their studies. The new school building in Stung Mean Chey, located across the street from the current one, is almost complete and will help alleviate the overcrowding they are facing due to high demand for the program.
Asociación Compartir | Honduras
3,500 children and youth participated in the mobile library activities and 850 participated in activities held in comunities centers and "open spaces", designated meeting spots in the community. The cultural groups have been busy raising awareness and preparing for their upcoming festivals and events. One group, 18 students taking flute lessons, was invited by JustWorld Ambassadors to perform at their horse show. It was a great opportunity for the students to interact, meet supporter, and share about the organization.
