IDAP - Huehuetenango High School

IDAP is a public High School in Huehuetenango City, Guatemala, which I attended. It is one of the few public high schools available in the region that offers access to free education. Since 2009, the students, student's parents and professors have been working together raising money to build the new facilities without the help of the Guatemalan government.
