FEATURED AMBASSADOR: LAURA TARBOX
“Learning to read always opens up new worlds and opportunities – no matter who or where you are. To me, there is little that is more important! In Guatemala, expanding literacy, one child and school at a time, has an exponential effect on the community, and ultimately on the country.”
Laura has been a dedicated Child Aid supporter since first visiting Guatemala over 20 years ago. She recently became a Child Aid Ambassador by sponsoring the Pachut school in Patzún, Chimaltenango.
