About this Event
A new school in Chwitziribal, Guatemala was finished in 2019 after the hard work, fundraising and dedication of friends in Canada. Our connection with this school goes back to 2010. Groups from Canada have visited often bringing school supplies and sharing special days of joy for the children. We have worked on projects for repairs of the school and maintenance like painting and have maintained a strong connection with the teachers and students over the last 14 years.
While the school has all the necessary basics: desks, light, windows, school supplies, a snack programme and teachers there is still a need for space for a space for the youngest children to play that is sheltered from sun and rain. A need was expressed for this kind of space so we are fundraising to build a covered play area for the smallest students. For more information about the new school, please visit https://newschoolguatemala.weebly.com/ We will have the plans and design of the new project at the Fiesta for you to see.
On Oct. 26th we will gather with all those who have a heart for this school and for children in Guatemala for a celebration, a FIESTA!
Your ticket includes an appetizer buffet, a drink ticket, a silent auction for you to bid on of Guatemala art and other treasures, storytelling about Guatemala and music! For your $80 ticket cost you will receive a $50 tax receipt. All proceeds benefit the continued support of the little school in the village of Chwitiziribal, Guatemala and will be administered by St. Andrew's Wesley United Church.
