John Wesley School History

In 2001, Amilcar Ottoniel Solórzano was serving as the Executive Secretary of the National Evangelical Primitive Methodist Church of Guatemala. He had the idea of opening a new school to provide affordable Christian-based education to children who would not otherwise have the chance for such. That would include:
  1. Needy children in Santa Cruz del Quiche
  2. Children of Pastors
  3. Disabled and special-needs children
The idea was presented in a meeting, at the main offices in Urbina Cantel Village, Quetzaltenango, and was approved by the Executive Committee headed by Reverend Juan Pablo Ajanel Mendez. Amilcar was assisted in the foundation and creation of the Evangelical John Wesley School by Fausto Gilberto Natareno Lopez, Bachelor of Sciences and Education. The school was opened on January 3rd 2005. Currently there are a total of 120 students in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 7th, and 8th grades.
