Vamos Adelante provides education, health and nutrition services to families living at the base of Guatemala’s active Volcano Fuego (“Fire”), most of who work on a temporary basis harvesting sugar cane and coffee at large farms.
Vamos Adelante prides itself on its minimal administration costs and personal contact with our supporters. This website and blog are the best way to stay in touch with us and keep up with our latest happenings!
In theory we are in the middle of the rainy season but so far it has been raining fairly mildly compared to other years. In other parts of the country people suffer of drought and its consequences but in the Boca Costa, the area, where we are located, the rains have been pretty normal and luckily we have not experienced any terrible tropical storms. Several days it rained hard and lahares came down on the slopes of Fuego filling the riverbeds with lava and the roads were not passable.
