On behalf of the Kinderzukunft, organizer of the Christmas in a Shoebox campaign, we would like to invite you for a one-month charity sports challenge to support the children village ‘Aldea Infantil’ in Guatemala.

Time period of the challenge: June 1 – June 30, 2021.

Everyone is welcome to participate - from the youngest pre-primary student through graduating S7 students, as well as families, school classes, clubs, companies, and organizations.

Guatemala is a Central American country where two-thirds of the population live in poverty increasingly so as a result of COVID-19.  Hunger, malnutrition, poor health, and education are some of the everyday challenges facing its people.

Here is the chance for everyone to help and to make things better.

In 1991, a children's village "Aldea Infantil Rudolf Walther" was established in the highlands of Guatemala. The children's village and is now home to 162 children who are orphaned or abandoned. The village has a kindergarten, a school, a training workshop, and an agricultural project. Every child lives together with nine “step-siblings” and one “step-mother” in one of the 17 family houses. They have a chance to learn and to grow up in a family, where they are cared for. The Aldea Infantil children village also has a breakfast project (Frühstückskinder-Projekt) where they offer every day a breakfast for 150 children from the neighborhood of the school. You can find more information about the children village here and a video here.
