    Nestled against the golden sands of the Giza Plateau, our day with the students unfolded amidst the towering Pyramids of Egypt. The air hummed with the whispers of ancient history as we explored the architectural marvels that have stood the test of time. Against the backdrop of the iconic Sphinx, the students delved into the mysteries of the pyramids, their imaginations ignited by the stories of pharaohs and the secrets buried within these colossal structures. It was a day of awe, discovery, and shared wonder as the students, with eyes wide open, immersed themselves in the living history of their homeland.

    we made a video-slideshow gallery of their photos that we sent the kids and the school that was projected onto their school wall for a few days after we finally went through their images.

    2 causes to make a real difference

    The we did in Atitlan is more than just a celebration of the lives and stories of the people who call this place home—it’s also a commitment to preserving both the cultural heritage and natural environment that make this region so special. By showcasing the beauty and vibrancy of life around Lake Atitlán, we hope to raise awareness and funds to support two critical initiatives: the cleanup of the lake and the establishment of a cultural fund.

    Environmental Stewardship: Cleaning Up Lake Atitlán

    Lake Atitlán, often described as one of the most beautiful lakes in the world, faces serious environmental challenges. Pollution from runoff, waste, and the growing impact of tourism have put its delicate ecosystem at risk. By raising funds through the sale of photographs, we aim to support local organizations dedicated to cleaning up the lake, reducing pollution, and implementing sustainable practices that protect the water and the surrounding communities. These efforts will ensure that the lake remains a vibrant and life-giving force for generations to come, preserving its crystal-clear waters and the rich biodiversity that depends on it.

    Cultural Fund: Preserving and Promoting Mayan Traditions

    The cultural heritage of the communities around Lake Atitlán is deeply rooted in Mayan traditions, storytelling, and art. To honor and support this heritage, a portion of the funds raised will go towards establishing a cultural fund. This fund will support local artists, storytellers, and cultural practitioners in sharing their knowledge and skills with the younger generation. It will also provide resources for community events, workshops, and educational programs that celebrate Mayan culture, ensuring that these traditions continue to thrive.
