Colegio Mesoamericano – Patzicía
Colegio Mesoamericano – Patzicía is a small school of about 250 students located in the Highlands of Guatemla. Our students who range from 4 to 18 years old are mostly of Mayan descent.
In order to help prepare them for a future in which they can participate as contributing citizens, we give them a safe place to learn, and play. Many of our students dream of attending a university, of becoming doctors, lawyers, and engineers. This of course will be an impossibility if we can not teach them language, math, science, etc., and of course English and computers. This is where we need help. In order to provide these students with an education, we need people who are willing to be Sponsors. We need people who understand that to educate a child is to change the life of not only that child, but also that of his family, neighbors, and country. We also need Volunteer Teachers who are willing to come and give of their time and love to help teach English.
