DescLike everyone else in the world we were hobbled by the pandemic. We found that we had to broaden our scope to not only find a way to educate while social distancing without available first world technology, but also to help solve the families more immediate issue of hunger. Our students are amongst the poorest in Guatemala and do not have ready access to either a smart phone or the internet. Fotokids was able provide 300 hundred food baskets to feed the city kids who were quarantined in their houses. Parents were either without work, or due to government transport restrictions unable to get to work. Educationally we had to figure out a way to give out lessons and assignments while the country was in total lockdown and prohibited from moving from one county to the other. We found we could video record the lessons on an SD card that fit in the student's cameras. They could then replay the teaching video and do the assignment on the same card, turning it in every week when their mothers went to pick up food baskets we had put together. Later as restrictions eased students came to drop off and pick up assignments personally. Guatemala City is the hub for all of our programs throughout Guatemala and all of our staff are graduates. We were unable obviously, to run our intern program for the teenage students providing them with on the job training and experience working with real clients. Through the Fundacion de Niños Artistas de Guatemala, counseling was done by our in-house social worker, to determine needs and the gravity of the family crisis. The teachers and staff meet every week via Zoom to discuss and evaluate the instruction and the children's family needs. This year two students graduates of the Save Girls program and Fotokids recipients of our university scholarships graduated with degrees in graphic design and film. The young woman in design now works for one of the most prestigious agencies in Guatemala. A requirement is that they intern as teachers assistants for Fotokids, while they complete their studies and they are paid a stipend to do so. In spite of the challenges of a pandemic, social distancing, and teaching children who don't have access to Smart phones or computers, we have been able to continue to teach. The kids are enthusiastic and of the 175 we have enrolled this year, only 3 have dropped out of the program. We have been able to keep our staff who live in high risk areas employed, stipends for our student teachers, all the school scholarships for children in the project, classes in photo and design going and the students have produced a body of work on living conditions and their reactions to covid 19 which will be exhibited by the Spanish government's aid program in November of 2021.Desc

DescSantiago Atitlán 1997 to present: This year In spite of the challenges of a pandemic, social distancing, and teaching children who don't have access to Smart phones or computers, we have been able to continue to teach. Hunger was much more pronounced here than in the Capital and we worked to keep families from starving proving food baskets. Guatemala's population is 17,500,000 of which 59.3% live in poverty (half of those making less than $5 a day). Poverty is more pronounced in rural areas. We used the same teaching techniques to keep our classes going as in the Capital. Students had cameras and received lessons and photo assignments on SD cards that were turned in weekly. Design students drew drafts by hand that they later were able to put into software programs. Due to the fact we have much more open space in Santiago we could schedule children to use the computers for their traditional school work as well. We provided tutoring.Educational information about Covid 19 was given out the mothers who came to collect the food baskets. We bought grains and beans wholesale and included other staples to put in the baskets. Three students who had been in the program 10 years were selected for university scholarships in 2022. They will continue their stint as teachers' assistants in 2021. We have flexible plans for smaller classes of no more than 10 students, depending on the Ministry of Education or on decisions by autonomous city mayors. The newer students who started last October/November will have more photo technique classes and assignments as well as weekly in-person instruction on intro to Photoshop. The 4th year kids in Santiago Atitlán, who have had manual instruction in graphic design, will begin the software Adobe Illustrator in InDesign classes in graphic design. During 2020 finishing in Spring of 2021, the new schoolhouse in Santiago Atitlán will be completed that will give us more space in which to hold socially distanced classes. Our university graduate in social work, maintained connections with the children's families assessing needs and all Santiago staff participated in the weekly zoom meetings that focused on planning , problem solving and communication sessions.Desc

Form 990, Part III, Line 2Covid 19 meant Fotokids had to review priorities and make changes that would enable us to keep teaching while dealing with very crucial needs of our students families, primarily that of hunger. Most of the families who were already living on the edge with a day to day existence lost their jobs. Without a livelihood there was no food to put on the table. There was a complete lockdown, and no so getting food to people was difficult without the help of one of the children's father who was allowed freedom of movement as he as a fireman. In the City we used him ot get out food baskets for the most needy families. In the countryside we bought wholesale, corn and beans, and weighed them out for distribution, The baskets in addition included oil, cereal, rice, eggs, pasta, and a vitamin drink. We had a problem as smart phones were scarce in our communities as few can afford the phone or the internet, so we had to devise a way around distance or tele teaching. We gave the children's cameras that had could play video. Teachers recorded lessons and examples on the SD card that the children picked up and could replay in the cameras to see their lessons and assignments and then did the photo assignments on the card and returned it and picked up there next lesson in groups outside of five students at a time. we initiated at the same time covid precautions, education and strict public health measures.
Form 990, Part III, Line 3Teaching had to be curtailed and changed logistically to adhere to public safety standards during the Covid 19 pandemic in Guatemala. Fotokids initiated programs with lessons taught and assignments turned in thru camera screen videos on SD cards.

ExplanationThe return for 2020 was prepared and submitted electronically May 13, 2021 and was rejected for reasons not clear, despite conversations with IRS. A letter from IRS dated March 1, 2022 and received by our organization March 20, 2022 did not explain the reason for the rejection. Note that immediately subsequent to the May 13, 2021 submission and rejection electronically, our organization mailed a hardcopy of the 2020 return. Your letter of March 1, 2022 was the only indication the 2020 return was again rejected. We respectfully request that IRS waive any penalty fees incurred, based simply on our lack of full understanding as to why the rejections were made. A Form 1128 was submitted by our organization that was first rejected but later accepted by written notice dated May 23, 2022 (CP284) approving the changed in fiscal year from end date 12/31 to 9/30, hence this late submission herein.ExplanationTxt
