Our Projects
|
Among the Q’eqchi’ Maya people in northeast Guatemala TEACH helps poor children go to school. TEACH projects in 2009 include 5 primary schools (grades 1 to 6), a middle school (grades 7 to 9; called a basico school in Guatemala), and 4 boarding facilities for basico students. They are located in towns and small villages between Lake Izabal and the Gulf of Honduras.
