Join our volunteers in a liquid fast for One Week to raise One Year of funds! This funding is the sole support of our lunch program and feeds 60 malnourished indigenous for the entire year. We fast not only to raise funds but also to experience food scarcity firsthand.  Konojel’s larger goal is to raise awareness about chronic malnutrition and support the Community Center throughout 2015.  We fast not only to raise fund but also to experience food scarcity firsthand.

Since 2011, Konojel has served more than 55,000 nutritious lunches in San Marcos La Laguna, Solola, Guatemala. We provide a hearty vegetarian lunch every weekday to 60 of the most at-risk individuals, including children, pregnant and nursing mothers, and elders who are often overlooked at home when food is scarce.

Konojel’s lunch program works to strengthen and stabilize the weakest members of an impoverished community in which almost 7 in 10 children suffer the effects of chronic malnutrition, and adult literacy is 25%. The food served at Konojel represents a tremendous improvement in the diet of those who eat there, The menu includes fresh vegetables, both cooked and raw in salads, proteins, superfoods, and many other components of a balanced diet.

As a faster, you volunteer to:

  1.  liquid fast for one week on juices, smoothies, and soups (or modify to your personal needs - it's the intention, not the rules, that matters)
  2. Ask for pledges from friends & family, with your goal being raising $200+

As a faster in San Marcos, you get access to our daily events:

  1. Two Yoga classes daily (7:30 AM @ La Paz, 11 AM @ Del Lago)
  2. 1 PM lunch gathering at various participating restaurants
  3. 2 PM daily free workshop for fasters
  4. 6 PM soup dinner gathering with fellow fasters
