Are you excited for 2017 with Guatemalan students yet!? 2015 was #Awesomeyear, 2016 was even better, and 2017 is gonna be the best yet. Take a peek at what lies in store for you, CoEd supporters:
ONE
Inaugurating our new Education Center, which will consolidate our staff offices in the very heart of the country, helping us be a more together, more efficient poverty-busting team! (We also got some cool bonus features like solar panels and teacher-training rooms.)
Isn’t it pretty?
Student approved.
TWO
Year two of our Thousand Girls Initiative, the push to reach 1,000 girls across Guatemala and place them in our Scholarship & Youth Development Program before they drop out of school. Guess what that means? More heartwarming sponsor-student relationships like these:
You see this?
We live for this.
Get in on that 2017 hug action by sponsoring a student and coming on tour!
THREE
We’ve got some changes coming to our Culture of Reading Program that will help us expand the program so that more kids can learn to read! We also plan to share our successful program model with organizations in other developing nations around the world.
Raise those hands, kids.
Flaunt those letter games.
FOUR
The synergy between CoEd and Idea Global is about to take off, because our co-founder Jeff is transitioning to a leadership position in this partner organization. Idea Global will continue helping mothers learn how to nourish and stimulate their children’s development so that they are ready to learn when it’s time for CORP!

Just look at these little chubbies.
FIVE
Lots and lots of tours. That’s right, in 2017 it’s be there or be square, because we are ready for seven trips to help you connect with the teachers and students you support. You’ve already changed their lives—why not let them change yours?
Get a hug.
Share a book.
Make a friend.
Even walk your student down the aisle at graduation.
You do NOT wanna miss this.
