Besides recently receiving our nonprofit status from the IRS, the other exciting news is that Project Quetzal is now funding their first project!
It is a preschool in Patzicia, a small rural village between Antigua and Panajachel. There are approximately fifteen students who are now learning their letters, songs, how to share with other children, and eating a healthy snack every day. Their teacher, Elba, is earning $1500 a year with a stipend of $300 for school supplies.
Our next project is to fully develop an after-school program in this same village that we will serve children in the primary school who need academic assistance to insure that they will be successful in passing each grade.
