My Nonprofit Reviews

I have had the good fortune of working as a volunteer for Wuqu Kawaq over the past 4 years. This organization is dedicated to improving the lives of the indigenous Maya population in Guatemala. Wuqu has been able to gain the confidence and respect of the communities that they serve and has accomplished this by bringing together Maya culture and language with resources , healthcare and education. The ability to speak the language and to understand the culture is paramount if an organization is truely going to be successful. The work has been difficult but I have seen significant progress in many areas including providing water purification for villages, nutritional supplements for children and meeting basic healthcare needs . The diabetes program has been very successful. Wuqu has proven to the Maya community that they are there for the long haul and has formed a very tight bond with the communities that are served.
