The Rainbow became an important meeting place for local non-profits and NGOs over 11 years ago when the Evening Lectures /NGO Talks first began. The idea of the lectures/talks is to be a link between the NGO and people interested in getting involved with the great projects that work towards making a better Guatemala.
Every talk we host increases a NGOs public exposure as well as the probability that someone attending may decide to volunteer, donate money or fundraise for the charity. Since hosting the first talk (Sue Patterson´s) we´ve had more than 50 local non-profits and NGO´s presenting!
A donation of Q25 is asked for to each person attending the talk, the donation given goes directly to the presenting NGO.
Coffee is one of Guatemala’s largest industries, and is both a source of wealth and poverty around the country. Join us to learn about De la Gente’s approach to creating community-based economic opportunity with organized coffee producers. Andy will discuss De la Gente’s work through the lens of a recent project in the San Marcos region, and discuss successes, challenges, and lessons learned.
