Program description: |

The GVI Phoenix project provides ccommunity teaching and construction in Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Ecuador and Peru. GVI Phoenix believes that education, both primary and secondary, as well as daily food, are basic human rights and is attempting to combat the imbalances of these rights through GVI Phoenix volunteers and the GVI Charitable Trust.
A hungry child cannot learn effectively. During 2008, GVI Phoenix volunteers and the GVI Charitable Trust will provide the following:
- First time education or educational reinforcement to over 1,550 children.
- Scholarships for primary education in Guatemala exceed 500 children.
- Over 100 children and adults will receive secondary education.
- Over 130 local people employed directly or indirectly.
- Daily fixed community journeys will almost touch 100,000km.
- 10,000 trees will be planted
- 100 energy saving wood-burning stoves will be constructed.
- Over 40,000 hours of teaching
- 15,000 hours of lesson planning
- 1000’s of pens, pencils, pencil sharpeners, colouring pencils, work-books and erasers will be provided.
- Over 400,000 pieces of fruit provided
- Over 350,000 whole or subsidized meals provided
- Almost 500 “elderly” members of the community will be fed under the Plan Ancianos.
- 100 families will benefit from the Plan Semilla (Seeds), Plan Fertilizante and the Plan Pollo (live chickens).
Join the Phoenix project in one of the active countries listed above and volunteer to help GVI achieve it’s goals for 2008!
