Viamericas Corporation, a licensed, international remittance company, has recently launched their Viamistad campaign with Banco GyT, a Guatemalan financial organization, to raise money for people with severe disabilities to attend the educational and recreational camps of Viamistad in Guatemala. With every money transfer made to Guatemala through Viamericas and Banco GyT, the two companies will donate a portion of that money, helping those in Guatemala attend the camps of Viamistad.
The campaign between Viamericas and Banco GyT has greatly benefited the Viamistad camps by providing needed resources and support. As a result of the collaborative promotion, approximately $30,000 was raised to finance the Viamistad summer camps in 2022. This year, Viamericas and Banco GyT are aiming for an even higher contribution for Viamistad.
“Viamistad exists to fill that void in the lives of people with disabilities in Guatemala and is entirely funded by donations and support from Viamericas,” said Joseph Argilagos, Co-Founder of Viamericas and President of Viamistad. “We are incredibly proud and fortunate to be able to support Viamistad alongside Banco GyT. Our support helps grow this educational program that did not previously exist in Guatemala, so we are eager to continue this campaign in the years to come.”
Viamistad has been hosting these camps for more than 10 years. With approximately 85 people attending every year, this nine-day camp offers activities such as waterskiing, stand-up paddle boarding, horseback riding and swimming in the ocean. Every year, they strive to provide life-changing experiences, spark lifetime friendships and create a strong community for those that attend.
