We are excited to write to you with two encouraging updates about our work in Guatemala!
First, our tree nursery & reforestation project has been thriving and growing. The program's goals are twofold. It plants trees to combat years of deforestation in rural regions and creates an opportunity for the women running the nursery to earn their own income and develop professional skills. The tree nursery program is also linked to our women's circles through AMA, which creates an empowering community for the women involved. Pictured above is one of the women who work at the tree nursery, Yoli. She is from Espumpuja and sells the saplings at the local market.
Second, we are beginning 2022 travel plans to Guatemala! There is a full informational packet attached below. Please send an email to madison@highlandpartners.org with any questions and to begin planning your trip!
