Women’s Day Walk 🧡
On March 5th, our 8th and 9th grade students joined the community walk organized by the Municipality in commemoration of International Women’s Day. For this reason, our March newsletter pays tribute to all the girls and women who are part of the EFTC community. This year, we marched to remember, to honour, and to ensure that our girls feel confident raising their voices and fighting for their opportunities.
The preparation for this event began a couple of days earlier, as our students poured their creativity into designing beautiful posters. Each one carried inspiring and powerful messages that reflected their commitment to standing up for women’s rights and supporting one another.
This was not an activity carried out only by our female students. Our male students also joined the walk as we always aim to ensure that they are also aware of the importance of gender equality and respect.
We are proud to see our students raise their voices and stand for a future where every girl knows her worth, understands her rights, and believes she can achieve anything she sets her mind to. Moments like these inspire the next generation to keep moving forward, with confidence, purpose, and hope.
During the event, schools from across Jocotenango were invited to participate, creating a strong sense of community and shared purpose. The walk concluded with a ceremony led by the Mayor of Jocotenango and his wife, whose presence highlighted the significance of the day for the entire community.
This day is not only a moment to reflect on the history, courage, and resilience of women around the world, but also a reminder of the importance of continuing to create opportunities where girls and women can learn, lead, and pursue their dreams. That is why today we invite you to join us and support our female students with a fundraiser targeting the programmes that help them stay in The School of Hope and shape their own futures.
Please feel free to send us an email if you would like to organise a fundraising event or initiative to support our girls and women. We would be delighted to talk with you and explore how we can make it happen together.
