Seeing how much the kids love to learn makes me feel so grateful for the experiences I’ve had in Guatemala. **This year I saw so much growth in the school and in the community, and I know that every single one of those students has a bright future waiting for them.** [![Eq0DuVerG14jKBHcULY0K6qhUxESd3Ev5vWiMC2UaTs,JxKD_P1SLn8tmCzlN1Zn8mpI7UYjKvSXqixviM3_9t4](https://blog.schooltheworld.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/eq0duverg14jkbhculy0k6qhuxesd3ev5vwimc2uatsjxkd_p1sln8tmczln1zn8mpi7uyjkvsxqixvim3_9t4-2.jpeg?width=1024&height=682&name=eq0duverg14jkbhculy0k6qhuxesd3ev5vwimc2uatsjxkd_p1sln8tmczln1zn8mpi7uyjkvsxqixvim3_9t4-2.jpeg)](https://blog.schooltheworld.org/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/eq0duverg14jkbhculy0k6qhuxesd3ev5vwimc2uatsjxkd_p1sln8tmczln1zn8mpi7uyjkvsxqixvim3_9t4.jpeg?hsLang=en)     ## School the World Stories ### Hear from our World Changers about their service experience and read about the latest announcements at School the World! ### Subscribe Here! ### Recent Posts ### Categories - [Service trips (3)](https://blog.schooltheworld.org/tag/service-trips) - [World Changers (2)](https://blog.schooltheworld.org/tag/world-changers) - [Father (1)](https://blog.schooltheworld.org/tag/father) - [Panama (1)](https://blog.schooltheworld.org/tag/panama) - [family (1)](https://blog.schooltheworld.org/tag/family) ## Get Involved #### [![Pledge Your Birthday](https://blog.schooltheworld.org/hubfs/SchoolTheWorld_June2019%20Theme/Images/Gyd7H_tR-e1557366912353-1024x683.png) Instead of gifts, ask for donations & your birthday will change lives!
