Executive Director 

Alma Leticia “Letty” López Contreras

As a therapist, Letty found her mission a many years ago providing education to children with different forms of learning.  She began the school with a positive attitude, 2 tables and 8 chairs.  As a result of Letty’s leadership, Brillo de Sol has grown to over 85 students in the school, added an early learning program, plus programs for speech therapy, psychology, teacher training, parent education, cooking classes, agronomy, and other academic support. Letty carries the message of how important it is to provide special education opportunities in Guatemala to local and national government and community organizations.  She works with families to unleash the potential of their children. She is a tireless champion for these children, constantly reminding people of the gifts and potential they possess.

“I work every day to maintain excellence in education and rehabilitation of our students, always ensuring that their education is appropriate to their needs. That they learn values such as respect for diversity and each other, develop their critical thinking skills, and that they realize how bright they are and above all, to see life with joy.”

She is loving to all the students, prepares food with love for them and thanks to her, the school is always very clean.
