The Schoolyard

A quieter corner of Nueva Vida for those who give monthly and stay close to daily life in Santa María de Jesús.

Join the Schoolyard

At Nueva Vida, everything passes through the schoolyard.

It is where the day begins and ends. Where children run before the bell, where parents gather at pickup, where snacks are shared, and where conversations, prayers, songs, and laughter all find their way into the same space.

The Schoolyard is our monthly giving community.

A place to stay close to the daily rhythms of Nueva Vida through stories, traditions, recipes, reflections, and moments from everyday life in Guatemala.



What members receive from the Schoolyard

Whether you are nearby or across the world, The Schoolyard is a way of staying connected to the daily rhythms of Nueva Vida alongside others who care deeply about this community.

Over time, our hope is that you come to know our staff and students by name. That Santa María de Jesús begins to feel familiar. That the stories, meals, prayers, and moments shared here become part of your own rhythms too.

Each month, members of The Schoolyard receive small glimpses into daily life at Nueva Vida, including:

Why Monthly
Giving Matters

Monthly giving creates stability for the daily work of Nueva Vida.

It helps keep classrooms open and therapy sessions running week after week. It helps provide meals in the schoolyard, transportation for families, learning materials, therapy equipment, and steady support for children with disabilities in Santa María de Jesús.

But more than anything, monthly giving allows us to plan for the future with consistency and care.

Children thrive through rhythms: familiar teachers, ongoing therapy, daily meals, safe spaces, and people who continue showing up for them over time.

The Schoolyard is made up of people who choose to show up that way too.

Quietly. Consistently. Month after month.

And that kind of support changes a community
