The Benjamin & Lois Paul Fund for Tz’utujil Students
Less than a year ago, the Benjamin & Lois Paul Fund (Paul Fund) was created for the purpose of providing educational opportunities to the people living in the most neglected communities of the Tz’utujil region of Guatemala.
The Paul Fund is still new but, in a modest way, it has already begun to address the educational needs of the Tz’utujil. In 2007, thanks to your generous support, the Paul Fund will be able to maintain the two current scholarships and add two new ones. To date 26 additional Tz’utujil students have been identified for assistance. This clearly shows the need and at the same time highlights MEF’s current challenge to address it. In addition, MEF will strive to develop collaborative efforts with other organizations in Guatemala to see if, together, we may be able to address the schooling needs of more Tz’utujil students.
