Children anxiously wait for the locked gate to open allowing them in to the Noah's Ark Center in Oratorio, Guatemala where they will eat a nutritious lunch, enhanced with vitamins and nutritional supplements and then receive educational support in classrooms with dedicated teachers. They have come after their day in the public school that ends before noon.
Many of the children live in tin-roofed homes with dirt floors and unsanitary conditions. Many of the families AMG provides support for live on as little as $4 per day. The children are required to have school uniforms to attend public school. AMG sponsorships helps families provide for their children so they can attend school, have nutritional support, educational support and some medical car.
