Celebrating a new member of the Gandys Family
We’re thrilled to announce that our project in Guatemala is now complete! Thanks to you, we were able to fund a new dormitory at the NGO, Casa Guatemala.
Located along the Rio Dulce river, Casa Guatemala welcomes up to 300 children a year. Many of them come from the local Mayan villages and live in extreme poverty with no other access to education. The new dormitory means that more students can stay at the school and receive an education, saving them from the treacherous commute along the river.
This Gandys Children’s Day we bring all seven schools together to celebrate the latest member of the Gandys family!

They were gifted a care package of rice, beans, sugar, salt and cooking oil, which helps to alleviate the widespread problems of impaired growth and development from starvation and poor nutrition. The caregivers also received this, along with a traditional african wrap dress to say thank you for their hard work!
