K’iin Beh is a Mayan phrase meaning “the way of the sun.” The non-profit school focuses not only on providing a solid education to local children, but more importantly, it instills strong values and principles in the students. Founded in 2011 by Raquel Mitre, Ki’in Beh has grown from a preschool class of 20 children to 463 students.
Located in an unprivileged neighborhood known as Cristo Rey, in Playa del Carmen, every child receives some form of scholarship.

The scene on the street watching parents dropping off the happy children to school was incredible:
Just check out the difference this non-profit school is making on the lives of these school children! I’m glad for the opportunity to visit and help support such a great cause!
