Dear Friends of Miracles,

Cute photo of Angie Torres, our Naples, FL volunteer teacher who was a big hit with the kids and teachers. Coming soon.... Skype live teacher training from Naples, FL to Patzun, Guatemala.

Dear Penny,
Amigos de Patzún (ADP) started the summer with some exciting news. This June, ADP partnered with Miracles in Action, a NGO active in Guatemala, to expand the scope of activities to support education for rural students. This collaboration has allowed us to bring on our local director, Anacleto Catu, on board full-time. Anacleto is the key to ADP's success in many ways, and we have no doubt that by fully dedicating his efforts to the organization, ADP scholars and aspirants will benefit exponentially .
Anacleto is helping to develop the training program, in collaboration with US experts from Miracles in Action, to provide in-service training on reading and other key skill in some of Patzún's rural primary schools. Anacleto will provide follow-up, management, and oversight of the program and be instrumental in adapting materials to the local context. Visit http://www.amigosdepatzun.org/
Salud, The Amigos de Patzún Board
