Very few children in Guatemala can fathom pursuing dreams to become a doctor, a teacher, or a lawyer. 1st – 6th grades are free for children in Guatemala, yet insufficient for most careers. Only wealthy families in Guatemala have access to preschool or high school courses, which are vital for pursuing most careers.

The Leivas family decided to change this! Their school, LanVwa, located in Joconal, Guatemala provides these missing courses for the children of coffee farmers. These children traditionally follow in their parents’ footsteps without considering other options. Now students are receiving the proper education to help them pursue careers of their choice.

Years ago, students new to LanVwa laughed at the thought of becoming a nurse. They told their teachers they could only become farmers. By the end of the program, these students announced that they wanted to become mechanics, doctors, teachers, and lawyers! Two LanVwa graduates even became teachers at LanVwa this year!

Because you choose HOPE Coffee, these children have a choice for their future. Most importantly, these students hear the gospel of Jesus Christ! You can read more about LanVwa here.

Join us in prayer for these students and teachers as they learn about Jesus and pursue their dreams!
