In 2009, William Scheid founded a scholarship program to send impoverished children in Guatemala to school. After an incredibly successful five years, Will returned to Guatemala for the graduation of the first two scholarship students, Jaime and Americo. He was so proud of the boys and their success and was excited to watch the program expand by extending the same opportunity to two girls. As our way of honoring him and fulfilling his dream of providing education to end the cycle of poverty, we started the William Scheid Fund for a Better Future, an officially recognized non-profit organization that will continue to provide scholarships to Guatemalan children with your support.
In the past, when we’ve told families we will provide them with an education their mouths literally dropped open and could’t grasp that strangers from another countries wanted to support them. Because of this they are able to control their destiny and the sky is their limit for their future, This is something they never dreamed was possible.
