UPDATES FROM GUATEMALA

Our teachers and students have sailed right into the second semester of the school year! We have 134 students from 96 families, with most of the mothers also participating in programs hosted in our new Women's Development Center (across the street!). This new space has been coveted by our team for a long time - until now, we have been rotating programs and classes for children and parents throughout the month to fit in the same shared space that was supposed to house assemblies, meetings, workshops, gym class and recess. The new space has allowed us to not only offer services to mothers throughout the day (rather than one afternoon every two weeks), but also reinitiate other programs such as our in-house bakery and snack counter that is run by our mothers and contributes to self-sustainability.

Things are running full force, and our amazing team is doing a wonderful job of balancing the needs of new students, reinforcing existing programs, and continuing to reimagine what active restoration looks like in their community. 

We don't currently have the resources we need to keep these programs running throughout the year, so if you'd like to join in this work through financial partnership, please reach out to info@edupavi.ca or go to edupavi.ca/donate to learn how you can do so!

And lastly if you'd like to take a look back at the incredible year that was 2025, please click the image below to read our annual report! It is such an honour to get to join in this work with you, and we hope you know how much you are appreciated by our small team. (Answer: a lot!)

As always, thank you for your support. We look forward to what's to come this year and beyond!

Team EDUPAVI Canada
