Wilson dreams of becoming a businessman!

Wilson Martin Guarchaj Ixmata
Dear Pooja, Amie, George, Gillian, Greg and Monica, and Cindy,

Wilson is 10 years old and is the son of Martin and Catarina. He is currently enrolled in third grade and lives in Solala, Guatemala, which is located 85 miles east of Guatemala City.

Wilson aspires to become a great businessman and has a dream to own his own store that sells daily goods in his village.  Unfortunately, his family earns very little money and continuing education for Wilson is difficult for his family to afford. His father is a farmer that grows bananas, coffee, and maxan, which generates only $50 dollars a month. His mother is a stay at home mom. Wilson has three older brothers and a four year old sister.

With the help of all of your donations, Wilson is excited to have the opportunity to spend a year continuing to gain computer knowledge and skills. The Roots and Wings computer lab is located just two minutes from their home, making tutorial and computer classes very accessible.  Thank you so much for coming together to enable Wilson to keep his dream alive!
