Jaime founded the El Nahual project in 2005. Formely a philosophy teacher, he had always wanted to do something to help the kids of Pacaja (one of the poorest area s of Quetzaltenango ). His idea was simple: to provide educational help to the kids attending the public schools of the area. In 2005, with the help of his wife Betty, Jaime decided to quit his full time job and start El Nahual.
He continues to work full-time at the school and dedicates an exceptional amount of time and effort to the program.
