More than 40 teachers and workers serve at the two schools in La Limonada. Almost all of them live and raise their children in the community. Their salaries currently amount to an average of $7 a day – while the average person in Guatemala City makes about $14 a day.
These teachers have devoted their lives to serve the children and families of La Limonada, often taking children from the schools into their homes in situations where parents are unable to care for them. They struggle to make ends meet and they bear the burdens of the children in the community.
By sponsoring a teacher you can help to increase their salary to reflect a fair wage while building a relationship with him or her through correspondence.
