EnLevo recently welcomed Santa Rita Sur, a small indigenous village in Guatemala, to the Sustainable Lives Program. Our team introduced the Sustainable Lives Program to the heart of the remote village, where the community gathered eagerly to learn about the program from our team member, Juan. Delivered entirely in Q'eqchi, the presentation shed light on the power of setting and achieving goals, and how the program has the potential to bring a positive change in their lives. The villagers nodded with enthusiasm and anticipation, visibly excited to embark on this new journey.
Following the program introduction, a heartwarming scene unfolded. Several villagers crafted a simple backdrop as we captured family portraits to be printed and gifted back to the families. Despite the sudden rainfall, the spirits remained undampened. Laughter echoed under the makeshift shelter as the villagers playfully darted through the raindrops, showcasing the strong bonds that hold their community together.
In a village where electricity remains a distant luxury, our EnLevo team arrived equipped with a portable power source, a color printer, and a computer. As the frames were filled with cherished memories, emotions overflowed. Joyful smiles and tears of happiness adorned the faces of each family, emphasizing the profound significance of these captured moments.
The heart of Santa Rita Sur beats with resilience and unwavering community spirit, unfazed even by the challenges of nature. These family photographs, now treasured keepsakes, encapsulate the resilience and hope that define the spirit of this close-knit village. Looking ahead, we anticipate witnessing the positive and enduring impact the Sustainable Lives Program will have on Santa Rita Sur and similar communities.
