Colegio Juan Wesley in San Cristobal Totonicapan


>

Students: 350 / Teachers: 25 / Grades: K - 6, three years of secondary

Since its beginning, Colegio Juan Wesley has experienced rapid growth and is quickly outgrowing its facilities. In 2008 a new school building opened on the site of a local Christian camp and after many HANDS teams and donations from USA and Canada the doors opened to a new three story school building capable of holding over 500 students.  No longer did the school need to meet in the overcrowded Sunday school classrooms in downtown Methodist church in San Cristobal.

The next challenge is to build the secondary school building next to the current school. Money is scarce when it comes to purchasing the actual building materials for the new school and paying for labor. This building is part of the long-term vision of teaching elementary, junior high, high school, vocational training, and eventually university classes on this site. Please consider partnering with this school to reach its dream of expanding the influence of Christ and quality education in the western highlands of Guatemala.
