It’s official — you helped us reach our goal to feed a healthy lunch to all 111 students at Escuela David LaMotte!
In case you missed this amazing news… Over 120 donors helped raise $18,132 in February! That will provide a healthy lunch for a full school year to the 111 students at the Escuela David LaMotte! THANK YOU! ¡Mil gracias!
Here’s a note from the director of the Escuela:
Hello dear friends! I am Melchora, the director of the David LaMotte school. It is a great pleasure to greet you. I hope you are in good health with your loved ones.
I would like to thank you on behalf of the students, especially on behalf of Josue Adonias Arriaga.
Adonias lives in one of the corners of our Tz’utujil Mayan community with his mother and grandparents. He is one of the first students to arrive at school. His greatest motivation, besides learning new things, is to come to have breakfast at school.
But why does it motivate him to have breakfast at school?
Because for him, school is the only place where he can receive a complete portion of food and enjoy it with his friends until he fills his belly.
Last year, Adonias barely spoke when he came to school, and now he is much more engaged. Adonias’ life will be very different than it would without this school, because of physical nutrition, and also because of nourishment of his mind and spirit.
Thank you for changing this life.

Thank you for responding so generously when we asked for your support! More than 120 donors showed what real love means by contributing $18,132 to help children in Guatemala have a better life! These donations are going to help children live a healthier life AND are going a long way in Guatemala –- a healthy lunch is just 80 cents per student! From the whole Senderos team, THANK YOU!
