SEE FIRST-HAND NIÑOS DE GUATEMALA’S WORK IN THE PRIMARY SCHOOL NUESTRO FUTURO A b o ut N i ñ o s d e G u at e m a l a (NDG) Niños de Guatemala (NDG) is a 2006-established Guatemalan-Dutch non-governmental organization, which works towards building a better future for Guatemalan children where such work is needed most. We believe the keys to achieving such a goal are: education, empowering local communities and reaching self-sufficiency. The E x p e r i e nc e G u at e m a l a To u r In January 2009, NDG opened a primary school in the town of Ciudad Vieja, 15 minutes away from Antigua. The school Nuestro Futuro offers access to education to children from the most underprivileged families, who would not have such an opportunity otherwise. Some of our students are the first of their families to achieve literacy. 50% DISCOUNT FOR SPANISH STUDENTS AND CHILDREN The school “Nuestro Futuro” was built to hold eight grades of pre-school and primary school (grades pre-kindergarten through sixth). In 2009, the school was started with three grades. Each year, a new grade is added to the school so that by 2014 the school will be completed. S o w h at i s l i f e l i k e i n G u at e m a l a ?
