Our
teachers are a vital part of the foundation of all that we do at Casita
Adonai. Because of the location and the financial needs of the
parents who send their kids to Casita, tuition is very low. This is
great for the children who are able to receive a quality Christian
education in a safe, loving, environment. However, low tuition leads to
low teacher pay.
The average teacher in Guatemala City makes $330 a
month while our teachers are only making $131.
To give you an idea of
how this translates - one of our teachers who is a single mom of 2
children pays $130 per month for rent of her small apartment.
We
have prayed about how we can help increase their salaries and are
excited to offer a teacher Sponsorship Program. For $35 a month you can
support one of our teachers or staff and truly make a difference for
them. We believe that your prayers, love, letters and small gifts
throughout the year will encourage them and remind them just how much
Jesus loves them. We hope that you will invest in our teachers.
Please
see the gallery of teachers who need sponsorship here. Follow the instructions to set up your sponsorship. We
will send you a card with their photo and more information about how
you can support them through prayers, letters, and gifts throughout the
year.
Most
of all, will you join us in praying for our teachers? They are such a
vital part of the ministry to our kids and families at Casita Adonai!
