WLO Service Projects

Update on WLO Guatemala Relief Project

The IVCC World Language Organization has concluded its fund raising service projects for the town of Aguas Escondidas in the Lake Atitlán Region of Guatemala. Thanks to the generous support of our students, faculty and staff, and of many individuals from the community, we were able to raise $300 to help with the rebuilding of one little town damaged by Hurricane Stan. Thank you to all the student volunteers who helped with the fund raising and to all the donors who opened their wallets to give.

Report on WLO Fund Raiser with MayaWorks

In addition to the service project for Aguas Escondidas, WLO participated in the IVCC Staff Arts & Crafts Fair on November 17, 2005 with a beautiful array of MayaWorks Fair Trade weaving and beadwork handmade by the artisans of the Lake Atitlán region of Guatemala. Our proceeds at this event allowed WLO to send an additional $1,032 to the communities so hard hit by the Hurricane, and to retain a small profit for student activities in the coming year.
