Would anyone like to hear a little about Guatemala?

Hi!

My name is Meredith Deitsch, and I am writing this post on behalf of Cooperative for Education (CoEd) in Cincinnati, Ohio. We are a non-profit organization that seeks to break the cycle of poverty in Guatemala through education. We are accomplishing this mission by establishing self-sufficient textbook, library, and computer center projects in rural Guatemalan schools.

Each year, we travel to Guatemala (in August and in February) for people to experience this incredible country firsthand. We deliver textbooks to schools, interact with the children and families, innaugurate computer centers, and travel around the country, seeing the highlights and realities of Guatemala.

I am currently looking for groups, clubs, churches, businesses, etc. that might be interested in learning more about Cooperative for Education. If you or someone you know might be interested in receiving a 30 minute informative PowerPoint presentation about the organization and how you can join us in Guatemala, please let me know. We would love to come and share with you!

Thank you very much!

Sincerely,

Meredith Deitsch, Marketing Coordinator

I think education is one of the most important aspects in order to break the cycle of poverty in any country. The most poverty area in Guatemala is the occidental region that is why I invite you to visit that region.

If I can help you, contact me.
