The UW Guatemala Project Vuelo del Quetzal auction on March 31st, 2007 was an amazing and inspiring success! With the support of community members like you, we were able to exceed our fundraising goal of $50,000, which will sustain our project in its current form for at least 10 years. See our 'Auction' page for acknowledgments of our generous donors, and some pictures of the event.

We are a group of University of Washington students working to provide scholarships for our peers on coffee plantations in Guatemala. Our project is jointly designed and supported by UW students and the Movement of Peasant Workers, a non-governmental organization based in San Marcos department, Guatemala.
