The program aims to contribute to the holistic development of students by addressing educational, economic, social, scientific, technological, and cultural aspects. This aligns with the mission of the foundation, where you work to raise funds for education in Guatemala. In parallel, the Project-Based Learning program has intricately adapted the PBL method to the local population and cultural context of the Western Highlands. The two-year program focuses on training cohorts of teachers in PBL, aiming to enhance the quality of education in the region. Additionally, the community library program serves as a valuable resource, promoting access to information, fostering a reading culture, and contributing to personal, professional, social, and economic development. 177886 1 23 177886 0 0 0 0 0 0 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b Each year, after careful review of financial statements, a team of senior executives, come together to file the form 990, submits it for review to the board treasurer and president to sign off before submitting it to the IRS.

Over the course of the last year, our organization underwent a significant transition in our filing process. We transitioned from the traditional method of physically filing Forms 990 to adopting an electronic filing system. This transition required comprehensive training for our team members involved in the filing process, as well as a thorough review of our previous years' filings to ensure a seamless transition. Moreover, our organization operates in two branches, responding to both Guatemalan and U.S. fiscal requirements. To enhance the accuracy of our filings and comply with the regulations of both jurisdictions, we undertook the meticulous task of separating our financial records. While these adjustments were necessary for the long-term efficiency and accuracy of our financial reporting, they did contribute to a delay in the filing process. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
