Social Projects with ICAmigos

In 1989, the Reforestation Project was initiated by a group of individuals including teachers and Spanish language students from I.C.A. It is financially supported by I.C.A. and helps the Quetzaltenango community. We have worked together with the assistance of public school students, sawmill owners and the municipality to organize reforestation campaigns.

In 1992, the villages of Buena Vista, Los Corrales, Cabricán, and Quetzaltenango solicited the financial help of ICAmigos in their bilingual Mam-Spanish primary school. Mam is one of Guatemala's official Mayan languages, spoken by over 670,000 inhabitants. Due to the number of Guatemalans who speak Mam, the community was determined to offer Mam-Spanish schooling to their children.

After various years of working in the Bilingual Education Project, ICAmigos was interested in helping to support an education project in Xela.

The coordinator of the ONG, ICAmigos, along with a general practitioner is in charge of this project. It has the fundamental resources and equipment to provide services to those in and around the Quetzaltenango community.

All over the world, there are people who make mistakes. Their actions are then investigated by the judicial system and their sentence may cause them to lose their freedom. However, these people also need opportunities, attention, education, job training, healthcare, and self-esteem to be able to reenter society.

During the civil war period in Guatemala, many women were left widowed and without the men in their families. As a result, they needed to find work in order to support their families. One of the things they knew how to do was to sell their artisan products.
