Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints
partners with other organization to help deliver school kits.
Over the past few weeks the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints partnered with organizations like Energuate,
Fundación Castillo Cordova and Cargo Expresso traveled with Emisoras Unidos to many different
elementary schools in Guatemala City and outlying area schools in need of
school supplies for the students.
Some of the schools are Chimaltenango, Patzún
and Escuela Abel Carillo Ramírez. The
kits include 4 notebooks, 2 pencils, an eraser and sharpener to elementary
school children that have limited means to purchase their school supplies.
Thousands of school kits have been given out and many more thousands will be
delivered to children in the next few weeks.
All of these organization that are
non-political recognize the great importance that education has on their
greatest country’s resources….their children.
In the next decade these children will lead
the nation in progressing in modern day technology and continued knowledge to
best develop their natural resources.
The country of Guatemala and other Central American countries are
anxious to have this happen. Parents of these elementary students do all they
can to make sure their student is present in school when the school kits are
presented. The children shout,
“Gracias!!!” Some children with big
smiles will wait for an opportunity to personally thank the presenters for
their kits. Teachers, students, parents
and the presenters are encouraged by the enthusiasm of this project and are
willing to do all they can to further the education of school age children.
The following pictures are from two schools where we handed out the school kits along with the organizations named Energuate and Fundación Castillo Cordova.
