Guatemala Literacy Project

DRC Sponsor: Shannon Duncan

The Guatemala Literacy Project (GLP) is a collaboration between the Cooperative for Education and Rotary International, dedicated to breaking the cycle of poverty in Guatemala through education. The GLP is one of the largest grassroots, multi-club, multi-district projects in Rotary. More than 600 clubs and 80 districts have been working together since 1997 to improve education for underserved students in Guatemala. In that time, nearly 225,500 students have been served through the four successful programs within the GLP. In 2017, Rotary International President Ian Riseley called the GLP “the gold standard of Rotary projects” for its positive, sustainable impacts. Emily Paver from the GLP will remotely join our club and provide additional information about the project and its accomplishments.

**Please note this presentation will take place as part of the DRC virtual Tuesday noon meeting using the Zoom application. A separate email invitation will be forwarded to all Club members to facilitate access to the meeting.**
