brighter lives for children with disabilities

Learning together

Children supporting, encouraging and caring for each other is at the core of our educational program.

Therapy

Speech, language and occupational therapies tailored to the needs of students with disabilities.

Individualized education

One-on one instruction augments traditional classroom instruction to address individual needs of our students.

Sponsor a Child, Change a Life.

Sponsorship is the lifeblood of Brillo de Sol's program. Sponsors give our children a chance to live happy, productive lives.

Volunteer

In addition to our valuable staff, volunteers are an integral part of our program. They make what we do possible.

Donate

The success of our students and our program wouldn't be possible without the continued support of our friends and sponsors.

We teach basic functional and grade level literacy and mathematic skills, following the curriculum that is prescribed by the Guatemalan Department of Education. Additionally, we instruct our children to use critical thinking skills, and provide education in civics, science and art.

Integration

Inclusive education, combined with individualized instruction, speech language therapy, and occupational and physical therapies when available, as well as counseling and psychosocial support, prepares our children to become active members in their communities.

Self-Confidence and Self-Esteem

Unconditional love, mutual support, honestly expressing feelings, sharing, and caring. We teach lifelong values that build self-confidence and self-esteem and a deep bond of love and trust between students, teachers and staff.

Skills for Life

We provide opportunities for students to learn cooking, gardening, carpentry and other skills that allow students to be productive members of their families and help open doors to a trade or career.
