Fundación | The Sparks Foundation | Santiago Atitlán HOME TEAM VOLUNTEERS PROGRAMS PARTNERS Blog Mas The Foundation works in the field of education in Santiago Atitlan a village in the highlands of Guatemala with an indigenous Mayan population. On a visit to Santiago the Sparks encountered a community school in dire straits. This school was part of an educational system that provided little to no opportunities for its students resulting in an inability to speak Spanish widespread illiteracy and a lifetime consigned to manual labor and poverty. The existing facilities at this time were makeshift and unsanitary.
