Our students would love to meet you! As you know by now, getting to Joconal is not exactly easy. It's a flight to Guatemala, a 5 hour drive through the mountains, and lastly, an uphill hike to the coffee farm where the classroom is situated. Visiting our classroom, on the other hand, is just a click away! Connected to the internet on your very own computer. Thursday, July 14, 2016 @ 6:00 PM EDT. RSVP below, and you'll receive an email with instructions and a link for login. 3rd annual Jumping for Java.

Project Joconal
http://www.lanvwa.org/what-we-do/project-joconal
We provide ACCESS TO secondary EDUCATION in Joconal. By creating access to education, a student can begin to recognize that their dreams have potential to become a reality. 534% of children do not have access to education beyond the 6th grade. The children that are affected the most live in rural communities and come from poor families. Without opportunity, the cycle of poverty continues.
