The families in Chajmaic, Guatemala receive new seedlings

Something wonderful about this work is that it is located close to home and the laborers don’t have to leave their families for long periods of time and live far away in order to support them.

Para ellos es una gran bendicion ya que este proyecto les da esperanza y deseo de salir adelante todos juntos como una gran familia.

Tambien la alegria que podran ir y venir todos los dias a sus trabajos desde sus casas, ya que por estar accesible el lugar de trabajo no tendran que ir a vivir a otro lugar lejos de sus familias.

Both the teacher and the principal of the school i Both the teacher and the principal of the school in the village of Sisbilhá have their own greenhouses at their homes in the nearby town of Fray Bartolomé de las Casas, installed with the help of the Sembrando Oportunidades field team. Her training reinforces the education provided at the school where she works and also inspires the teacher, Mirna, and the principal, as they see the main benefits firsthand in their own homes.

An example of this is Gilberto Chub, now a fifth-grade teacher at the Fray Bartolomé de las Casas #school. Teacher Gilberto, a man with a strong knowledge of local #agriculture, recognizes that the results of this new Sowing Opportunities, Inc. methodology exceed traditional production by more than 100 percent.
