These are Jayron, José, Javier and Yonder from Guatemala. They live in an orphanage of the international foundation NPH. During my last visit in January I took this photo of José wearing the tie of his sponsor, a Dutch student group.
These kids attended the Montessori preschool class, now they are in their second year of primary school. They manage to get excellent results (between 81 and 95%) and are on the way to create a stable basis for a better life in Guatemala. They love going to school.

To give more children the chance of good education NPH Guatemala wants to build a new preschool centre with 2 classrooms for 50 children. The aim is to accommodate both orphans and poor local children from the neighboring villages. The centre will also provide facilities to work with the disabled children and other important facilities such as rooms for psychologists, physiotherapists, a speech therapist.
I saw the excellent work they are doing in the preschool class and I want to help fund this project. From 14 - 25 May, 2011 I’m going to hike 200 km through the Spanish mountains - a big challenge. If you wish to support me funding this fantastic educational project, please make a donation. For more information about us, the hike, the project, donations and the Hike 2010: see the buttons on the right.
