GLASS SCHOOL

An educational project initiated in 2009 and located in the village of El Porvenir del Norte (Camalote). The Escuela del Vidrio provides for low-income children and teenagers from rural areas, who otherwise would not have access to an education. In fact, it offers them a three-year professional training in either Glass Art or Cooking and Tourism,under the certification of CONEANFO (National Commission for the Development of Non-Formal Alternative Education). At the same time, they take the Basic Cycle exams (formal education) thanks to an agreement with IHER (Honduran Institute of Education by Radio), and can also access compulsory secondary education.

UNIVERSITY SCHOLARSHIPS

We provide the opportunity to access a university education to those who wish it and have worked hard for it.

As of 2023, we have 7 ex students on a scholarship,all of whom give back by collaborating with the school. This way, we create a bond between ex students and current students. We feel extremely proud of our ex students who are on a scholarship, as they are an example to our current students.
