Snapshot of Rural Guatemala

February 16, 2011
Category: Child Aid News

We post a lot of photos of the insides of libraries we help create. They tend to be bright, colorful, clean places that create an atmosphere where children want to read. What these photos don’t show are the day-to-day realities children face just outside those walls. Here are a few photos of the communities of Palá and Xojolá which illustrate how people live in rural Guatemala and the need children have for greater opportunities. Child Aid begins work in both towns this year to help the communities implement our childhood literacy programs.
