Creative Learning, Creative Associates International, Inc.’s non-profit sister organization, has received a grant from the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Human Rights, Democracy and Labor to support the Guatemala Human Rights and Outreach (GHRO) program.

The effort will support creation of a National Commission for the Search of the Disappeared as well as produce a radio soap opera with stories that encourage victims of the civil war which ended in 1996, to come forward and testify. Awarded on February 16, 2007, the project runs through August 2008.

Creative Learning provides children and families around the world, especially in areas of conflict, with innovative learning tools and activities. Among other efforts, Creative Learning has provided educational resources and supplies, including musical instruments, to children in Afghanistan, Iraq and Panama.
