By His Grace And For His Glory: Kairos Christian School

On Wednesday and Thursday a bus took us to a town nearby where a Christian Guatemalan lady named Mayra and her family have recently opened a private school. In Guatemala the public schools are bad and so the children that go to public schools get the bad jobs and the children that go to private schools get the good jobs. Mayra has the vision to break the poverty cycle by giving the poor children the chance to go to a private school. The children do not have to pay to go to this school as the children come from poor families. They have around forty-five children in attendance. The school is made up of three small class rooms, a boys and a girls bathroom, an office/ lunch hand out counter, and a small concrete yard. They are in the process of building a new office which some of our team got in on. The school has a budget of 6,000 dollars a month and they only have 700 dollars commited. Their family lives by faith and God provides each month. While we were there we did different odd jobs that needed to be done such as making sewing samples for crafts, cutting out paper shapes, shoveling rocks and dirt, construction, serving lunch and hanging out with the kids during recess. Unlike the kids at Hermano Pedro these kids did not have disibilities and they could talk which made it difficult to communicate sometimes as I know muy poco espanol. The kids loved our cameras and took a lot of pictures( I am very thankful for digital). The kids were always so happy and seemed to get along very nicely with one another. They really looked like they were happy to be there.
