UPDATE: Donate Now!

A great update for you all! I will be taking Paypal donations through the website now. As you can may have read in the most recent posting, funding was challenging. The money for the scholarships was mainly out of my pocket. I think some people who were possibly interested in donating did not feel comfortable sending a check or felt it was more convenient doing it via a service like Paypal. Now, this will be the best way to donate. While Paypal does charge a small amount, it will definitely be the easiest way to donate to the scholarship fund. I will be able to take the money and then send it via Money Gram. ALL funds will go exclusively to the students. If you have any questions about this, please feel free to contact me at: huehuescholars@gmail.com or nightingalean@gmail.com. Thank you!

If you are interested in making a TAX-DEDUCTIBLE DONATION, write a check to Friends of Guatemala and send it to:


Friends of Guatemala
P.O. Box 33018
Washington, D.C., 20033
*"Huehue Scholars-Cat.II" must be written in the memo. 


Friends of Guatemala is a non-profit organization that has been working with Peace Corps Volunteers in Guatemala for years, allowing children and youth to continue their education and improve their lives. Friends of Guatemala or FoG, as it is also known, provides scholarships and also serves as medium to collect and distribute donations. 


Checks are the only payment method available currently. PayPal charges for its services, thus, to ensure that all donations go to the students, we are not using PayPal as a payment method.
