Nicolás Fund for Education is delighted to announce that we have purchased a piece of property for our new school.
This was made possible by a very generous donation from a foundation for which we are so grateful! With God’s blessing and guidance, we now need to raise approximately $400,000 for construction of the school.
The relative was so impressed by what they saw that the landowner elected to drop the price by 43% to a sum we could manage!
The landowner had originally listed this property at approximately twice the price for which we eventually purchased it. When the landowner learned that Nicolás Fund for Education was looking at properties in the area, she sent a relative to Nicolás Christian School to find out what we were about.
It was a learning process to buy land in Guatemala
The 4.9 acre property is close to Cotzal. It is about 5-10 minutes from La Bendición, 15 minutes to La Esperanza and 20 minutes to San Nicolás. It is across the street from a cell tower and is reported to have the best internet connectivity in the region and very good cell reception. The land is adjacent to a soccer field on the road to La Bendicón, so most of you have driven past it!
The land is mostly level and we do not anticipate problems with construction.
