San Martín Tots Pre-School [Gallery of images from pre-school]

The "San Martín Tots" Pre-school (known there as Guardaria San Martín) offers care, instruction and hot meals for pre-school-age children each weekday, and features a classroom, playground, and full traditional kitchen. Children not only learn to begin to read and about history, geography, and simple math; they also learn about hygiene and brushing their teeth, get to play in a safe and supervised environment, and receive two hot meals each day.

Hurricane--October, 2005 [Gallery of images from hurricane]

The hurricane that struck Guatemala in October, 2005 turned the countryside to mud; landslides closed roads such as the road to San Martín and nearby communities where Xela Aid works. It is estimated that 10,000 in the San Martín area were affected.
