Health and hygiene lessons are incorporated in the curriculum and

| IRS990ScheduleO/GeneralExplanation/Explanation | 2 | A FEW YEARS BACK, A GROUP OF WELL-MEANING EDUCATORS FORMED LAS MANOS DE CHRISTINE (THE HANDS OF CHRISTINE, FOR THE LINGUISTIC LAYPERSON), AN NGO (NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATION)DEDICATED TO PROVIDING TOP-SHELF ENGLISH INSTRUCTION TO LESS FORTUNATE KIDS IN GUATEMALA. WE DECIDED THAT THE BEST WAY TO GO ABOUT OUR TASK WAS TO PROVIDE ENGLISH PROGRAMS, QUALITY RESOURCES, AND PROFESSIONAL TEACHERS TO NON-PROFITS ALREADY ENGAGED IN EDUCATIONAL COMBAT IN GUATEMALA. SO, TO BEGIN, WE JOINED FORCES WITH ANOTHER NGO, CAMINO SEGURO (SAFE PASSAGE),WHICH WAS FOUNDED BY HANELY DENNING IN 1999 TO PROVIDE EDUCATIONAL,NUTRITIONAL, AND MEDICAL ASSISTANCE TO THE CHILDREN LIVING IN AND AROUND THE GUATEMALA CITY LANDFILL. THE COLLABORATION TURNED OUT TO BE STELLAR,AND OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS, THE CHILDREN OF CAMINO SEGURO HAVE GROWN TO BEING COMPETITIVE ON THE ENGLISH SECTION OF THE NATIONAL EXAM. ADDITIONALLY, CAMINO SEGURO ENGLISH PROGRAM HAS GAINED GREAT SUPPORT, SO MUCH SO THAT THE ORGANIZATION NOW HAS THE WHEREWITHAL TO PROVIDE ITS OWN PROFESSIONAL ENGLISH STAFF. SEEING THAT CAMINO HAD OUTGROWN THE NEED FOR OUR IMMEDIATE PRESENCE, LAS MANOS'S FOUNDING GURU, BRYANT HAND, PLEDGED TO ACT AS A TRAINER AND ADVISER TO THE INCOMING CLASSES OF CAMINO ENGLISH TEACHERS, AND SUBSEQUENTLY, HE BEGAN A NOT-SO-EXTENSIVE SEARCH, HIGH AND LOW (BUT MOSTLY HIGH--ABOUT 6000 FEET), FOR THE NEXT PLACE WHERE LAS MANOS COULD BE OF USE. IT TURNED OUT TO BE ALDEA EL HATO, A SMALL VILLAGE IN THE MOUNTAINS ABOVE ANTIGUA, LOCATED CONVENIENTLY NEXT TO ONE OF HIS FAVORITE HAUNTS, EARTH LODGE. IN TRUTH, BRYANT HAS GREAT RAPPORT WITH THE OWNERS/OPERATORS OF EARTH LODGE, "BRI" HAVEY AND "DREW" SHANKMAN, WHO HAVE SPENT THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS SPONSORING THE SCHOOL, ASSISTING THEM IN ACQUIRING EVERY THING FROM BREAKFAST FARE TO A COMPUTER LAB. AFTER SOME AMIABLE NEGOTIATIONS,BRYANT, BRI, AND DREW DECIDED THAT, WITH EARTH LODGE'S CONTINUED ASSISTANCE AND BLESSING, LAS MANOS WOULD NEXT HANG ITS BOWLER HAT (APOLOGIZE FOR THE TRITE ENGLISH REFERENCE) IN ALDEA EL HATO. SO, HERE WE STAND IN OUR FOURTH YEAR OF OPERATION AND AT THE DAWN OF THE NEXT PROJECT. INSTRUCTION IN ENGLISH MIGHT NOT SEEM THE MOST USEFUL THING YOU COULD GIVE TO A DISADVANTAGED CHILD, ESPECIALLY ONE IN A COUNTRY ALREADY JUGGLING OVER TWENTY INDIGENOUS LANGUAGES, BUT WE BELIEVE THAT THE BEST WAY TO FIGHT POVERTY IN THE LONG TERM IS THROUGH EDUCATION, PARTICULARLY EDUCATION IN A MARKETABLE SKILL SUCH AS ENGLISH. SPEAKING ENGLISH GIVES ACCESS TO HIGHER EDUCATION, SCHOLARSHIPS, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, AND TO STABLE AND WELL- PAYING JOBS IN THE TOURISM AND SERVICE INDUSTRIES, THE LIKELY FUTURE OF GUATEMALA AS A NATION. LEARNING "THE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE" WILL EVENTUALLY ALLOW THESE CHILDREN THE CHANCE TO SUPPORT THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILIES RATHER THAN TO SPEND THEIR LIVES RELYING ON CHARITY. SIMPLY PUT, WE GO FOR THE "TEACH A MAN TO FISH" OPTION. THAT SAID, WE TAKE PAINS TO AVOID BEING A CULTURAL WRECKING BALL. WE TAKE ON OUR MISSION BOTH RESPECTING AND RECOGNIZING THAT ALL CULTURES (INCLUDING OUR OWN MYRIAD OF "WESTERN" BACKGROUNDS) HAVE VALUE, WORTHWHILE CUSTOMS, AND STILL ROOM FOR CONSCIENCE EXPANSION. EACH STUDENT AND COMMUNITY IS TREATED AS INDIVIDUAL AND BEYOND STATISTICS AND STEREOTYPES, OWNERS OF DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES, EXPECTATIONS, AND METHODOLOGIES, SO WE COOPERATE WITH AND VALUE LOCAL TEACHERS, PARENTS, AND THE GOVERNMENT TO PROVIDE AND DEVELOP THE PROGRAM, SALTING TO THEIR TASTE, SO TO SPEAK. ULTIMATELY, WE AIM TO HELP STUDENTS TO REALIZE THEIR ABILITY TO ACT AS THE DIFFERENCE THEY'D LIKE TO SEE IN THEIR COMMUNITY, COUNTRY, AND THE WORLD, WHICH IS WHY WE WORK TOWARDS OUR OWN OBSOLESCENCE IN HOPES OF LEAVING OUR HOST INSTITUTION WITH AN ESTABLISHED, SUSTAINABLE CURRICULUM AND STUDENT BODY. LAS MANOS DOES NOT WANT TO REPLACE ONE CULTURE OR SET OF VALUES WITH ANOTHER, BUT GIVE THESE CHILDREN A TOOL TO BE ABLE TO CELEBRATE AND SHARE THEIR CULTURE WITH THE REST OF THE WORLD. |
