Project Description Country: Gautemala Location: Guatemala Total Budget: $2,000 Areas of Focus: Basic education and literacy, Economic and community development Activity Type: Education: Literacy Summary: The project provides resources such as textbooks and computers so students gain skills that will enable them to compete for better jobs and break the cycle of poverty. This is in partnership with CoEd, an Ohio Based company, as well as multiple Rotary clu Since 1998, the GLPs programs have been brought to over 300 impoverished rural communities. There are over 23,000 students using textbooks at 164 schools. The GLP has also founded 39 self-funding computer centers and 40 primary reading programs. The project is working with the goal of ensuring that no child in Guatemala grows up without the gift of both traditional and technological literacy. The Project has been supported by over 430 Rotary Clubs. The funds will be used to purchase material. Club members are involved in fundraising for the materials and at least one member will go on the trip to help deliver materials and meet people of Guatemala. Delivery of these materials will occur during February 2016. Upon completion of the project, the member will speak to our club and the surrounding rotary clubs about the project. This story will also be shared with the local newspaper and will be submitted to rotary magazine and other media.
