What we learned from 2020…

December 29, 2020 By David Leave a Comment

Greetings and Gratitude It has been quite a year in Guatemala. We are grateful for your partnership, and have some things to celebrate with you, as well as some things to mourn. 2020 has been a tough year for many of us.

Congratulations, Sandra, and thank you

Sandra Paola Saban Pirir, age18, was the inspiration for the Brillaguate program in El Tejar. While she was still a girl, Sandra went out every morning with her mother to collect plastic bottles from the gutters of the town. They would sell them to recyclers for a few quetzales. Her mother told us that the money they […]

Full steam ahead with PEG and Rotary

May 29, 2019 By David Leave a Comment

It’s a big year for PEG, including taking on the biggest building project we have tackled yet.  It may be a bigger year for Tzanchaj, though, where the Escuela David LaMotte (no, I had nothing to do with choosing the name, but I’m honored!) will be building a new school building this year.  Through a […]

January 15, 2019 Dear friends,        Thank you. That’s the main thing we want to say. It has been PEG’s biggest year yet, by almost any metric, and that’s because you are taking the time to see the work we are doing in Guatemala, and choosing to support it. This year, PEG will celebrate 15 […]

A New Home for the Escuelita – can you help?

April 12, 2018 By David Leave a Comment

Hi friends, After 13 years in its current location, the Escuelita David LaMotte in Tzanchaj, Atitlán, Guatemala needs a new home. The land upon which it sits, which has been generously provided for over a decade, needs to be sold, and for various reasons, it makes more sense to move the school than for us […]

Much to celebrate, and much to do…

December 29, 2017 By David Leave a Comment

Sometimes it’s easy to get lost in statistics, larger societal trends, and fundraising concerns, and we forget, for just a moment, that the work we’re doing is about individual people, and how we can support each other and find a better way together. Then we are reminded. Vivian Vanesa Quiñonez Tubac is a friend of […]

How you made a difference in 2015…

December 31, 2015 By David 2 Comments

LEAF does great work with music programs in several countries, and Jennifer is a long-time friend. The question she wanted to […]
