Friends,
We would like to extend a huge heartfelt thank you to all those who have joined us this Giving Tuesday and shown your support for the Chajulense people. We have one more project to share with you today: Horizontes sin Limites.
The Coffee Trust has worked with Horizontes sin Limites (Limitless Horizons Ixil), a forward-thinking education program in San Gaspar Chajul since 2009. Horizontes provides scholarships for Chajulense youth to attend high school and university, tutoring for Chajulense youth including a Spanish language boot camp for indigenous children who do not speak Spanish, and established the only children’s library in San Gaspar Chajul.
Recently, Horizontes built a middle school in San Gaspar Chajul that will soon accommodate high school students, as well. The school places special emphasis on involving the entire family in the education of their children and honoring the local language and traditional Maya culture.
The Coffee Trust is a proud supporter of Horizontes sin Limites and the first-class education it provides, unheard of in the region until now.
We know there are many important programs reaching out to you today, but we have to ask one more time: Will you show your support this Giving Tuesday?
From all of us at The Coffee Trust, thank you.
