Access Education Gala
2024 Honorees
Access Education Guatemala Children’s Fund is thrilled to announce its 2024 honorees – Luke Giampietri, Megan Katz Giampietri, Josh Giampietri and Aloisa Macedonio – four inspiring young leaders who whole heartedly and generously support our efforts to profoundly change lives by providing impoverished children with an education. Their passion and enthusiasm has extended the Access Education family of supporters by introducing their extended circle of family, friends and business contacts to our cause.
Watching the next generation of philanthropists take up the mantle to make meaningful and direct change in the world is inspiring and gives us hope for the future.
2023 Honorees
The honorees for the 2023 Access Education Gala will be Tony and Deborah Aspler.
For the past twelve years Tony and Deborah Aspler have been committed to Access Education and making the world a better one village at a time. Their kindness and quiet but determined sense of mission has changed many worlds. If it were not for their passion, there wouldn’t be an Access Education - which at last count has ensured that 3,000 children have gone to school and university.
Join us in celebrating Deboarh and Tony Asplers commitment to Access Education.
In Loving Memory of Genesia Giampietri
It is with deep respect and gratitude that we recognize the late Genesia Giampietri, who departed this world on October 22nd, 2023. Despite the profound grief, her legacy of generosity and kindness shines through, as her family chose Access Education - Guatemala Children’s Fund as one of the charitable organizations to donate to. We are immensely honored and will ensure that the contributions will make a difference in the lives of many.
