Golden Hearts believes in lighting a dream, one child at a time. Our mission is to provide access to education to academically motivated but financially disadvantaged students, and to promote individual well-being and public health access for those with whom we cross paths. We hope to change the lives of young children because they are our future. We hope to find people with golden hearts because each one is like a ray of sunshine that keeps the world bright every day. Even if the difference does not change their life, it will at least bring a smile to their faces during this tough time.

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.
