Proceeds from trips organized with Javier go directly to helping a local child go to high school. In Guatemala, only 60% of 5th grade children go to school, and this figure is thought to be lower in rural areas like San Pedro la Laguna de Atitlan. It’s estimated that only 23% of the children between ages 13 and 18 go to school because the fees and a 2.5 hour commute time to the nearest school make attending school cost-prohibitive.
