Larken Cares: Larken Associates Continues Partnership with From Houses to Homes Through Sponsorship of Two Guatemalan Students
ShareLarken Associates, a regional leader in commercial and residential real estate building, development and management, is proud to sponsor two students currently attending From Houses to Homes’ Escuela Kemna’oj, a K-9th grade school serving impoverished families in Santa María de Jesús, Guatemala.
Established in 2013 by From Houses to Homes, a grassroots organization dedicated to providing sustainable housing, education and healthcare to impoverished indigenous Guatemalan families, Escuela Kemna’oj provides over 200 students in the local community with an education, school supplies and two nutritious meals per day at no cost to their families.
Larken Associates has been an avid supporter of From Houses to Homes’ sponsorship program for the past several years as part of its Larken Cares initiative. This year, the firm is sponsoring two students, Dayana and Cinthia. Dayana is a first-grade student who dreams of becoming a veterinarian and Cinthia is a Pre-K student aspiring to become a teacher. Larken Associates’ sponsorship provides Dayana and Cinthia, as well as their families, with two meals a day, education materials, social worker support and From Houses to Homes’ medical clinic.
Larken Associates has partnered with From Houses to Homes for over a decade by offering financial aid and sending teams of volunteers to help build homes for impoverished Guatemalans. David Gardner has personally made over a dozen trips to the nation. In 2019, he welcomed the Larken Associates team to join him on an annual volunteer mission to construct homes in the highlands of Guatemala. Since then, over 20 Larken Associates employees have participated in the trip with the next mission planned for later this fall.
