Let's Work Together!

"If you’ve come to help me, you’re wasting your time. But if you’ve come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us work together.” ― Australian Aboriginal Elder Lilla Watson

This year we're celebrating ten years as an organization! Ten years of providing tailored, individualized scholarships to help fill the gap between talent and opportunities for folks in Mexico and Guatemala. 

At our annual board meeting, we reflected on all we've accomplished at BTGI. Together we've funded high school AND university scholarships for four individuals. Five others have received high school scholarships. Two young men in Mexico were also awarded vocational school scholarships. Another two received their adult education equivalency for middle school. We've provided children's books and school supplies yearly for twelve young children whose parents struggle with the costs of keeping them in school.
