Planting Seeds International

Through Vamos Chicos, boys at our Community Center have a space to make friends, have fun, try new things and simply be themselves. A place to have fun matters. A place to belong matters even more. What made you feel like you belonged growing up? #VamosChicos #Guatemala

Great teachers never stop learning, and neither do we. Together, we're building stronger classrooms and brighter futures. #TeacherTraining #Education #LifelongLearning #PSIGuatemala

Every child brings their own strengths, interests, and questions. Our role is to create an environment where those qualities can grow. #LearningThroughPlay #CommunityEducation

Looking back. 2017, outside the preschool at Rekko, one of our partner schools. Parents and children showing up, day after day, something that continues to shape these spaces. Growth over time, built together with the community. #PSI #Guatemala #CommunityDriven

Students from @Noble_Greenough School joined us in Guatemala last week for our Dual Exchange Trip, building connections, sharing experiences, and expanding perspectives. #Guatemala #CulturalExchange #GlobalEducation #Community

Every classroom holds a story. These everyday experiences are the heart of the classroom, where curiosity grows, confidence builds, and a love for learning begins to take shape. We’re grateful to be part of these moments every day. #Education #Community #Learning #Teachers

We reached our Giving Tuesday goal, together! Thank you for helping strengthen the spaces where young children in Guatemala learn, grow, and belong. #GivingTuesday #HungryToLearn #HungryToGrow

Behind every thriving classroom is a circle of people who believe in possibility. Partner schools, donors, and supporters who see education not as charity, but as transformation. When generosity meets purpose, change takes root. 👉 Learn more: plantingseedsinternational.o…

When a child takes their first steps into a Planting Seeds classroom, they enter a space built on love and belonging. Today, hundreds of children are learning through play, hundreds of parents are walking alongside them, and teachers are leading with heart. #Education #Community

In our classrooms, children are learning, playing, and discovering their voices. Their curiosity and creativity are daily reminders that the seeds planted today will grow into tomorrow’s brighter futures. #ChildrensDay #GrowingFutures #EducationForAll #CommunityStrength

Through education and community partnerships, we are planting seeds today that will grow into brighter futures tomorrow. Thank you to our champions and partners for walking alongside us in this journey of cultivating change in Guatemala.💚 #GrowingFutures #Education #Community

Here’s a sneak peek of last week’s festivities where students marked Guatemala’s Independence Day with creativity, joy, and celebration. We’re excited to be back sharing updates from our programs with you. Stay tuned for more!💚 #Community #Nonprofit #Guatemala #Education

LIFT Teen Center students were part of our second Dual Exchange Trip of the year. During this trip, the group got to share with our preschoolers in San Lucas, share with members of the community center, learn about Guatemala's history, challenges and its complex culture!📷

We're thrilled to announce that our Co-CEO will be visiting Canada this June!🛬 Join us for special events in Ottawa and Pembroke,meet them in person and gain deeper insights into PSI work in Guatemala. Don't miss this opportunity to connect and learn. DM us for more details!

We had a blast at our second ZoomPals session with preschoolers from San Lucas and Leland School! It was great to see their smiling faces and learn new things together. Both classrooms agreed that Love/Amor is their favorite word! 💗 #ZoomPals #Preschool #PSI

Our group of volunteers is in constant training and development. Their role in the Center is not only to support the facilitators, but also to share their own skills and knowledge! What makes this group special is that most of them are members of the community of zone 3 and 7.

Today we are holding the second Parent Training session of the year. During these teacher-parent meetings, our teachers share techniques of teaching with love at home, how to stimulate the children's abilities, but most important, to take PSI methodolgy to their homes.

📷 Last week, Madeli Quiñonez led a training session tailored for preschool and primary public school teachers. The focus of these workshops was to teach strategies to create inclusive classrooms for children with diverse learning needs.

This coming Saturday July 29th, we will be inaugurating our Community Center! We will be livestreaming the Gratitude Ceremony at the following times: Guatemala City at 10 am, Chicago at 11 am and Ottawa at 12 pm!
