      Panajachel Colegio Internacional is a wonderful and unique school. While it started out mostly as a place for ex-pats to provide their children with a high-quality college-preparatory education, it has gradually been transforming into an amazing engine for social change in a country sorely in need of it.Currently, approximately half of the students are not from expat families. Many are from indigenous Guatemalan families that have had few educational opportunities in that past and none at this level of quality. The school community is an amazing joyful place populated by a mixture of expat students of families from all over the world and students from right here in Guatemala (many from poor indigenous families).This transition is powered by scholarships and by an intensive program that takes non-English speaking students in November and prepares them to enter our regular classes (which are taught in English) at the start of the regular school year at the end of August.We believe that to truly bring change to this country where an elite minority keeps the majority of the citizens impoverished, malnourished, and illiterate, basic education is not enough. The real path to change is through empowering children of the marginalized class to pursue a world-class university education and to then return home to lead their nation.Visit the website at: http://www.panajachelcolegio.org/ Show less

    • El Inodoro Más Avanzado

      Developer of a Waterless Toilet Solution for the Lake Atitlan Watershed in Guatemala

      This is a unique approach to international development in that the new technology will be extremely high-tech, fancy, and attractive. Past attempts with crude rustic solutions have met with rejection by the targeted beneficiaries. We believe that people living in poverty are no less interested in having the latest technology than anyone else. Here is a link to the website of the project: https://www.elinodoromasavanzado.org/
