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.
At VIDA we offer education to 100 children, 20 of them having special needs. We adopt a holistic approach to development for the children in the community of San Miguel Dueñas; we offer them inclusive education, lunches, vitamins, English courses, robotics, arts and sports. Currently, VIDA is the only option for children with special needs in San Miguel Dueñas. VIDA is a non-lucrative entity; it focuses on fighting for those in the community who are most in need.
Vida is able to operate thanks to:
- Donations, (Donators).
- Activities to collect funds (Sponsors).
