Art Classes at CasaSito Guatemala
I just got back from a more than amazing trip to Mexico and Guatemala. I visited education projects where a lot is done with creative expression. I understand again why the work we do is so important.
CasaSito for example. This organization ensures that 110 children from the poorest communities continue their education. In addition to scholarships, she developed an accompanying program so that the children develop optimally. And creative expression is a big part of this. Every week the youngsters receive art classes from a professional art teacher. Last week I saw with my own eyes how much fun the children enjoy expressing their creativity!

Niños de Guatamala
Niños de Guatemala is a wonderful foundation that has set up three schools for poor and underprivileged children, as the education in Guatemala is very limited and of low quality in many areas.
