(a fashion event to benefit Safe Passage)
Guatemalan event November 3rd
September 2023
Next Event TBD
From author Jacob Wheeler, comes a book about our founder, Hanley Denning, and is described as a story about hope and optimism, bravery and idealism, and finding the light in the darkest of places. It also shares the story of Safe Passage, from its humble beginnings to present day. For more information or to pre-order a copy of the book, visit www.AngeloftheGarbageDump.com.
We will be hosting four book readings with Jacob; two in Maine (Oct.) and two in Guatemala (Nov). The events will feature excerpts from Jacob’s book and discussions about Hanley and her legacy. Safe Passage Executive Director, Trae Holland, and others featured in the book will also be joining us!
If you are unable to make the event, we will be live streaming on our Facebook page from the October 6th book reading at Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine. You will also find a recording of the event on our blog, starting Friday, October 7th.

If you are in Guatemala, please join us for a fashion event on Thursday, November 3rd, 2022 at the French Alliance (5a. Calle 10-55. zona 13, Finca La Aurora). The event begins at 7:30pm – please arrive by 7:00pm to register.
We have joined forces with Stare Vie in Guatemala, the first and only physical space in the country, permanently bringing together fashion designers, artists, and emerging and established entrepreneurs. Today it has established itself as a concept store that offers a space for art, culture, fashion, and lifestyle.
This combined effort brings a one-of-a-kind event, featuring work from almost 30 designers, primarily from Guatemala. The goal is to bring people together as a global community and spread awareness about the work we do in Guatemala. Each hand-made, custom piece is created from recycled materials like those found in the Guatemala City garbage dump and all proceeds will go to support our mission.
2022 marks our 18th Annual Safe Passage 5K, raising funds to support our school in Guatemala. The race will be held virtually again from September 9th-18th, 2022. The last two year’s virtual events, have seen our most successful races ever, raising well over our targeted goal each year. Join us again in bringing hope, education, and opportunity to our students.
