As another difficult year comes to an end, we couldn’t be more grateful to our amazing sponsors and donors who ensured that all the children at Brillo de Sol continued to be supported through the school year.
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.
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.
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.
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.
