Hey everyone, Godless Mom here! I'm launching this campaign to help send underprivileged children in rural parts of Guatemala to an afterschool program that exposes them to STEAM: science, technology, engineering, art and math.
Most kids in Guatemala receive an education that is tied closely with religion. Catholicism is the dominating denomination, and superstition is everywhere. The children of Guatemala need to be introduced to critical thought and the wonderful world of reality. Help us give them the evidence-based education they deserve!
The program we are supporting makes use of Kaleidoscope kits. These kits enable the children to explore STEAM. Through project-based learning and the pedagogy of wonder, children create works of art, build mechanical and electronic contraptions, program and learn about new technologies. The program is designed to inspire new innovators.
Each Kaleidoscope kit costs $50. We want to start by purchasing 12 kits - this will enable 9 kids to attend the program and give kits to the volunteer instructors.
If we reach this goal with time to spare in March, we'll move on to the next phase:
Phase 1 Goal - $600 - 9 students, 12 kits
Phase 2 Goal - $1550 - 25 Students, 31 kits
Phase 3 goal - $2600 - 43 students, 52 kits
I need your help to buy kits for these kids. This cause means a great deal to myself and Gail Miller. Introducing as many kids as we can to critical thought, kids who would normally only receive religious education, can change our world for the better. We will be doing our part to ensure the next generation values facts, evidence and science.
Even if you just chip in a dollar, you are helping. It all adds up.
Please consider chipping in today and change a child's life forever.
