Thanks for helping us reach two important goals! New Dawn Guatemala recently completed our commitment to deepen our solidarity with the community of Nuevo Amanecer by providing $4100 in scholarships for 38 youth and young adults to stay in high school and work towards job training classes at the nearby community college in Coatepeque. We also provided $426 to help fund the December 10th Virgin of Guadalupe celebration, which honors the sacrifice of families, particularly mothers, in helping their children to complete their schooling. These funds will also fund the Toys for Kids campaign that provides at least one Christmas toy for all of the village's young children.

Donating on this site will help us meet out next important goal - another $1100 for a new group of scholarship recipients by the first week of January. Nuevo Amanecer continues to be a place where people are staying in their community and working effectively towards a just, sustainable life thanks to your vital support.
