About Semillero Mi Ángel Guardián:
The Economist (September, 2009) reported that chronic malnutrition in Guatemalan children ranges from 50-80% and is one of six worst countries in the world. Chronic malnutrition stunts growth and development, and affects children's ability to learn. In a country where many people earn only a dollar or two a day during a good year, the economic crisis has hit hard.
While we can’t single handedly fix the economic or malnutrition crisis, we can do our small part to improve the lives of 30 kids and their community by supporting Semillero Mi Ángel Guardián.
This after school program is run by volunteers and depends almost exclusively on the benevolence of international donors.
The program provides an educational center for children who are from families in extreme need. Most kids come from households led by a single working mother, who would otherwise need to leave her children unattended after school, and without support and resources for homework and learning.
The Semillero provides them with:
- help with homework and school subjects;
- a resource center with supplies and reference books to complete homework assignments;
- lessons in practical activities such as gardening, cooking and basic hygiene.
