We need a person to help us establish a campaign to raise funds for seven teachers in Guatemala. They lost their funding due to a change in focus by their current funder.

These classrooms will have to close this year due to a lack of funding. Some of these teachers have as much as five years of experience in the community, depending on their service.
We offer young, newly graduated teachers ages 18-24 the opportunity to stay in their communities and to become social entrepreneurs by starting classrooms in primarily rural Guatemalan Mayan communities. The teachers have to work with the community leaders to find a suitable space to hold the classes. We provide the materials and a stipend to the teacher each month, as well as additional training for them to become more effective teachers.

We have joined online social media platforms. Global Giving and Donorsee. The directors of the project in Guatemala our ready to do whatever is necessary to raise the funds. Here is an example: https://www.projectalianza.org/post/sachary-is-transforming-her-community

Our Primary mission is to prepare rural Guatemalan children for success in primary school. 40% of rural children are failing when they arrive to the first grade because of poor preparation in their home situations, ie. illiterate mothers and fathers. We provide curriculum, materials, books, and stipends for local literate people to meet daily for 2 hours with small groups of children to teach them basic preschool skills. The curriculum is delivered to the teachers on their tablets in the form of pdf and mp3 files downloaded via a server. These natural teachers are trained to use the activites and book guides contained in pdf files, and the tablets are also attached to bluetooth speakers to play mp3 files during the daily sessions. These audio files are used by the teachers to present daily themes through ongoing adventures of the characters.
