Faith In Action Inc

22 students studying in the zacapa dorm all year graduated and are continuing their studies. A few of them will not come back because they have reached their highest level of education needed for a good job and have opted to begin their working career. We also have 5 new students from the mountain villages that have initiated their studies. This is life changing because none of these young adults have any parents or siblings who have continued past 6 grade. Many of those who have graduated as teachers are now in the mountain villages placed by the government as teachers of the primary schools. Our desire is to break the cycle of poverty through education. We provide shelter, food, clothing, school supplies, transportation and monthly dues required to attend the schools in zacapa.

The villages have continued support by our local pastors who share their faith by teaching the families about the saving grace of god offered through the bible. The pastors also focus on their physical needs by monitoring their health. They locate and identify villages that are in dire need of safe drinking water, roads, and other needs so that we can begin providing access to clean water and other services. The pastors are training leaders and taking the gospel to new villages so that they may serve the community and be the light of the world to shine before others, that they may see the good deeds which glorify the father in heaven.

Our support of schools such as matasano and pinalito improves attendance as they continue to receive nutritional meals. Families are often faced with the choice of placing their children working in fields over educational needs. To help the families to support themselves we teach them sustainable farming of coffee beans while providing them training on how to sell their products. Nutrition to the school consists of delivering truckloads of beans, corn, rice, and may other nutritional food and drinks to all villages. We are saving lives and reducing the suffering of so many people living below poverty level. Providing nutrition is key to our efforts to share god's love with them.
