Side Thought

The Melotto School, where we are currently volunteering, had about 450 students last year. This year they only have about 320 students. The children are still there, but their families can't afford the monthly tuition. The reason for this is the current world-wide recession. Tuition at the Melotto School is Q110 per month (about $13.35 at today's exchange rate). It seems to me that $13.35 per month means so little to those of us who call the United States home and so much to a child in Guatemala. Unfortunately, Child Aid, the non-profit we're currently volunteering with, has no capability to serve as a conduit should a family or individual be interested in providing a scholarship. Is this something that should be pursued? Let me know what you think, especially if you are interested.
