Philanthropy Initiative Classroom Sponsorship

Colegio Los Gozosos is a school for children who cannot gain access to education in the overly crowded Guatemalan public school system due to their disabilities.  Not only does the school serve the educational needs of the children in the orphanage, but it also serves the needs of the greater community by providing special education courses.  Some of the children have severe hearing or vision deficits, microcephaly, learning disabilities, hydrocephaly, cerebral palsy, autism, Down syndrome, attention disorders or sensory integration difficulties.  The school provides classes for kindergarten through eighth grade.  

This sponsorship is for the fifth grade classroom.  Your contribution can help cover school supplies and teacher/aide monthly salary.  You can choose as many sponsor shares as you would like.  All donations will contribute to providing a top-notch education to these well-deserving kids!
