THE US OFFICE, STAFF IN GUATEMALA, LONG-TERM VOLUNTEERS, AND THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, RALLIED TOGETHER TO ENSURE THE CONTINUED SUCCESS AND SUSTAINABILITY OF HANLEY'S VISION. THE CURRENT EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, RICHARD SCHMALTZ, BEGAN WORK IN JANUARY 2011.2010 SAW A NUMBER OF TRANSITIONS IN SAFE PASSAGE'S LEADERSHIP, BUT THE PROGRAM WAS UNWAVERING IN ITS COMMITMENT TO PROVIDE A STRONG BASE OF SUPPORT FOR MORE THAN 550 CHILDREN AGES 2-20. THE CORE ACTIVITIES PROVIDED FOR THESE CHILDREN (AND THE MORE THAN 300 FAMILIES THEY REPRESENT) INCLUDE EDUCATIONAL SCHOLARSHIPS, AFTER-SCHOOL EDUCATIONAL REINFORCEMENT, NUTRITIONAL MEALS, MEDICAL CARE (INCLUDING COUNSELING), SPORTS, ENGLISH LANGUAGE TRAINING, COMPUTER TRAINING, AND OTHER ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES THAT CONTRIBUTE THEIR EFFORTS TO BUILD THE SKILLS AND CONFIDENCE NEEDED TO FORGE A LIFE OUTSIDE OF THE DUMP COMMUNITY. FAMILIES OF ENROLLED CHILDREN ARE ELIGIBLE TO PARTICIPATE IN ADULT LITERACY PROGRAMS AND WORKSHOPS ON POSITIVE PARENTING STRATEGIES, ARE ABLE TO REGULARLY ACCESS SAFE PASSAGE'S ON-SITE MEDICAL CLINIC, AND ARE VALUED MEMBERS OF THE PROGRAM'S COMMUNITY THROUGH ON-SITE VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES AND PARENT COMMITTEES.SAFE PASSAGE OPERATES PRIMARILY FROM TWO LOCATIONS IN GUATEMALA CITY: THE REINFORCEMENT CENTER FOR CHILDREN GRADES 1-12 AND AN EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION CENTER FOR CHILDREN AGES 2-6. ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES IN GUATEMALA ARE LOCATED IN ANTIGUA AS WELL AS AT OUR PROJECT SITES.CAMINO SEGURO EMPLOYS MORE THAN 80 STAFF MEMBERS, MOST OF WHOM ARE GUATEMALAN, TO CARRY OUT THE PROGRAM OF SUPPORT. PROGRAM STAFF INCLUDES TEACHERS, SOCIAL WORKERS, AND OTHER SUPPORT STAFF. ADDITIONALLY, NUMEROUS INTERNATIONAL VOLUNTEERS (FROM THE USA, CANADA AND EUROPE) VOLUNTEER FOR TERMS OF 5 WEEKS TO 2 YEARS TO ASSIST IN THE CLASSROOMS AND WITH MANY OTHER ASPECTS OF PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION. THE SAFE PASSAGE SUPPORT OFFICE IN YARMOUTH, MAINE, HAS 4 EMPLOYEES AND BENEFITS FROM A GREAT DEAL OF VOLUNTEER ASSISTANCE AS WELL. HIGHLIGHTS OF 2011 INCLUDE:THE UNVEILING OF A NEW STRATEGIC PLAN, AFFIRMING THE ORGANIZATION'S COMMITMENT TO 1)IMPROVE AS A DEVELOPMENT-CENTERED ORGANIZATION; 2) EVOLVE OUR PROGRAM MIX TO INCLUDE A SCHOOL; AND 3) MEASURE STUDENT PROGRESS TOWARD IDENTIFIED GOALS, WHILE ASSESSING PROGRAM EFFICACY IN A MANNER THAT PROMOTES INCLUSIVE DIALOGUE.THE INAUGUARATION OF THE ESCUELITA, SAFE PASSAGE'S PRE-PRIMARY PROGRAM FOR CHILDREN AGES 4-6 OFFICIALLY REGISTERED WITH THE GUATEMALAN MINISTRY OF EDCUATION FOR THE 2012 SCHOOL YEAR, THE ESCUELITA OFFERS STUDENTS FULL-DAY INSTRUCTION AND NUTURING TO ENSURE THAT CHILDREN RECIEVE ADEQUATE PREPARATION FOR A LIFE OF LEARNING.THE DEVELOPMENT OF A ONE-ON-ONE TUTORING PROGRAM, OFFERING ADDITIONAL ACADEMIC SUPPORT TO STUDENTS WHO NEED IT THE MOST.
