Creating Opportunities in Guatemala through sustainable wellness programs and health career scholarships.
Garden of Hearts Gala
February 13, 2027 San Antonio Botanical Garden
On February 13, 2027, the San Antonio Botanical Garden will host the Garden of Hearts Gala. This special Valentine’s Day event brings us together for an inspiring evening of live music, dining, live and silent auctions, celebrating in a beautiful setting.
THE ISSUE
Guatemala faces significant challenges: the average child receives only four years of elementary school, and just three in ten students completes sixth grade. Poverty is widespread, with 59.3% of the population living below the poverty line and 23% enduring extreme poverty, according to the World Bank. This is why our work is so important. By supporting Guatemala, we stand beside our neighbors in building brighter, healthier futures.
OUR WORK
We are dedicated to strengthening Guatemala’s future by delivering preventive healthcare programs in schools and providing scholarships for aspiring healthcare professionals. These initiatives lay the foundation for improved health among students, their families, and entire communities. Driven by a passion to inspire, empower, and uplift, we aim to help people transform their lives. Years of committed service and health education are yielding tangible, positive change.
