This organization does wonderful work in Guatemala. I have been apart of this for over a year now. They build and operate schools in Guatemala and really need to raise funds in order to provide lunch for the children during the school year. Every little bit is a little bit more. You can visit and learn more at www.ninosdeguatemala.org. I will be volunteering on Saturday. We are still looking for volunteers and runners if anyone is interested. Email me at tamara@ninosdeguatemala.org

About This Activity
Join us for a fun run 5 and 10k to help raise funds for an amazing charity that works to put Guatemalan children through school, while providing nutritional meals, healthcare, and family support! Our “Sprint for Schools” will begin at the beautiful Primary, where participants can pick up registration packets, store bags, and get geared up for the run. Our run will take us through Battery Park and up the west side along the beautiful Hudson, before looping back. Then, come enjoy drinks and the afterparty at Primary to celebrate a job well done!
Niños de Guatemala is a nonprofit working to break the cycle of poverty in Guatemala by providing quality education and healthcare to children. NDG continually strives to ensure not just the academic but also the physical and emotional wellbeing of our students. All of the children in our programs receive two nutritionally balanced meals a day, medical and dental care, instruction on proper health and hygiene, sexual education, and access to our on-site social work and psychology departments. NDG also coordinates programs to provide vocational training for the mothers of these children’s families to further their opportunities in life.
