Escuela Oficial Rural Mixta Santa Barbara, Z18

Escuela (School) Oficial Rural Mixta Santa Barbara, is in Zona 18 on the outskirts of Guatemala City. It's in the highest-crime area of the capital city, and is the school where MIA has chosen to initiate its campaign "Hombres Contra Feminicido".

This program teaches kids, especially boys, how to interact constructively with each other. Gender stereotypes, gender relations, and gender equality are all addressed in an attempt to break the cycle of men's violence against women. We are implementing the program using materials from the white ribbon campaign. If you want to help, contact us at miamericas@yahoo.com

Below are some photos of the school from our July 2008 delegation.







The kids put on a skit for us.
