It’s hard to believe just a few days ago I arrived in Guatemala City on a week-long adventure such as this has been. For me the life lessons of humanity and generosity will remain in my mind forever. As I sit on our last night reflecting with others about our takeaways, I feel so full in my heart knowing that Starbucks is a part of such an unbelievable and important education initiative. Teaching the children of these communities is such an amazing thing to witness. Truly these children are learning to become educated valuable people for the future of these communities. Save the Children has an incredible team leading this process. Truly wonderful people filled with so much passion for what they do. The effort has reminded me of an old saying “Give a man a fish and we will eat for one day. Teach a man to fish and he will eat forever.”
The Guatemala Education Initiative is just that. The teachers are teaching this new generation of children that will be able to teach the next. Education is the greatest gift.
These memories will remain in my heart forever. And I am excited to share my experience with my community and continue inspiring others to reach out and help.
