Just as La Unión takes pride in the quality of our Spanish language program for visitors to Antigua, we also strive to promote education for local Guatemalans. La Unión and the University of Dreams Foundation, with the help of private donors, sponsor ten students from the village of Vuelta Grande and twelve from the neighboring village of El Hato to attend secondary schools in Antigua. Due to the extreme poverty of these communities, students' education stops after sixth grade. The students from Vuelta Grande have full scholarships to cover four year's tuition, study materials, van transport between home and school and monetary assistance for their families. The students from El Hato, however, only have financial support to complete the current school year (through November 2010). La Unión is actively searching for ways to ensure that these boys and girls will also have the privilege of a complete high school education.

  If you are interested in helping to sponsor these students, either while you are here with us at La Unión or once you have returned to your home abroad, please let us know, you can contact us at the following email address: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
