Our mission is to provide resources to fulfill the vocational and recreational ambitions of survivors, and create experiences that give them an opportunity to take hold of a new dream for their life.

Under the Same Moon is the American fund-raising arm of Asociación Bendición de Dios - a nondenominational, nonprofit school and community development organization in San Juan Alotenango, Guatemala. The school, Bendición de Dios, educates about 500 children, most of whom otherwise would not be able to afford the $250 in annual costs for the "public" school. The Asociación aims to raise community living standards so that children come to school healthy and well-rested. Under the Same Moon supports the Asociación Bendición de Dios by collecting donations and selling handcrafted items made by Guatemalan indigenous artisans and locally sourced, fair trade Guatemalan coffee, Dean's Beans. Under the Same Moon works directly with the artisans or artisans' cooperatives to follow fair trade principles and practices. The purchases provide opportunities for greatly improved earnings for the artisans, leading to a more stable economic well-being.
The wisest policies are designed synergistically to solve multiple problems through a single effort, thus delivering the proverbial “two birds with one stone.” This strategy goes further by simultaneously saving our forests, protecting lives and property from catastrophic forest fires, and combatting Climate Change - all by providing thousands a pathway to higher education. The solution to catastrophic forest fires lies in decreasing the massive volume of dead wood that has accumulated on the forest floor because of our flawed fire policies of the past century. This will be rigorous labor-intensive work that requires a large workforce. And that provides us an opportunity to address one of our most vexing, long-term social and economic challenges: the exorbitant cost of higher education. It stunts economic opportunity for millions of young adults, too often dooming them to life of dependency on government social programs that cost taxpayers billions. Higher education is essential for economic opportunity and restoring American competitiveness in the world. Those without it are often doomed to a life of stunted opportunities, limited earning potential, and dependency on social services that cost taxpayers billions. We can enhance America’s human capital and competitiveness by providing scholarships in exchange for public service restoring our forests.
