"I was struck by the teachers eagerness to pour themselves out for the kids. They don't know if they will get supplies, get help or get paid. Yet everyday, they give all they have so the children have a chance to learn. I am just glad that God has given me the chance to borrow their faith and share in their joy!"
~ Kristi, Volunteer 2006

SPOTLIGHT on TANIA SIAN, Second Grade Teacher

"I teach at La Escuelita de HOPE because I want that children have a better future. And I like to share what I have learned."

Tania is 25 years old and lives with her mother and six sisters. She rides the bus one and a half hours each direction, every day, to teach at the school. She likes to play sports and read. Her warm personality and infectous smile draw adults and children allike. The natural beauty of Guatemala is what she loves most about her country.
