Education
We support education programs because we consider education to be one of the most influential elements for the progress and advance of people and society.
Education is essential to reach better levels of social welfare, economic growth, and especially to increase young people´s opportunities to gain access to better employment, to develop their entrepreneur potential and to reach their goals.
We also consider civic values education very important to uplift society relations and for the advance and strengthening of democracy.
Enrique Castillo Monge School
cbc with its Brand Pepsi and Guatemorfosis is the first company that joins Ricardo Arjona and its foundation “Adentro” in order to improve education in Guatemala, by opening the second school of this initiative. The school has the name of Enrique Castillo Monge, a visionary with entrepreneurial spirit that dreamt big and worked with passion to reach his dreams. He always considered education as the best way to transform the country and the integral education is a right for any kid and brings them better opportunities. The school puts together both their dreams.
The “Adentro” foundation model strengthens and promotes students, teachers and parents involvement. It encourages community projects of wellness, health, environment and cultural revitalization. This model combines high quality academic training, innovation and technology with art development and broadcasting as elements for individual and society´s development. To this value, sports is added as a source of wellness, health and discipline
The school is located in the small village of El Porvenir between the municipalities of Alotenango and Escuintla. It started on January 2016, welcoming 200 kids in preschool and elementary. This school is a concrete demonstration that Guatemorfosis is not only an invitation for changing, it is the change that already started with positive and concrete results for the kids of this country.
