My Nonprofit Reviews

In my experience, there's nothing more rewarding in life than making a positive difference in the lives of others. And that's exactly what the Maya Educational Foundation does by supporting and nurturing the professional growth of aspiring generations of students from Guatemala's diverse Maya communities. As volunteer teachers in MEF's English Language Program--a two-week intensive English course offered to Maya university students every year in the magical colonial city of Antigua--my husband and I enjoyed the privilege of working with an extraordinary group of students. All of them enthusiastic, diligent, and smart, eager to soak up whatever the program had to offer and so so appreciative of the opportunity. What a marvel they are! But to be sure, this was not a one-way street. For our part, becoming part of these students' evolving development has enriched us beyond expectation and filled us with hope of what the future can be.
