| ORGANIZATION MISSION STATEMENT | FORM 990 PART III LINE 1 | OUR TWO-PRONGED MISSION ALLOWS US TO FOCUS OUR EFFORTS ON BUILDING SCHOOLS IN THE DEVELOPING WORLD AND TRAINING SOCIALLY CONSCIOUS YOUNG LEADERS. OVER THE COURSE OF 2010, WE ACCOMPLISHED THESE ACTIVITIES BY DEDICATING SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF TIME, LABOR AND EFFORT RAISING MONEY IN THE US THROUGH DONOR ENGAGEMENT PROGRAMS AND SPECIAL EVENTS. THE FUNDS RAISED ALLOWED US TO INCREASE OUR DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL REACH AND IMPACT. IN 2010, 20 SCHOOLS HAVE COMPLETED CONSTRUCTION AND ARE OPEN TO STUDENTS IN LAOS AND NICARAGUA AND PLANNING AND THE BEGINNING STAGES OF CONSTRUCTION FOR 7 MORE SCHOOLS STARTED. ADDITIONALLY, WE HAVE EXPANDED OUR REACH BY ESTABLISHING A PRESENCE IN GUATEMALA. EVERYTHING WE DO REFLECTS OUR COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABLE EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES. OUR ROLE IS TO CREATE MORE THAN JUST FOUR WALLS; THE SCHOOLS WE BUILD MUST CONTINUE TO PROVIDE GENERATIONS OF QUALITY EDUCATION. TO SUCCEED, OUR APPROACH WORKS FROM THE BOTTOM UP, FINDING AND WORKING WITH COMMUNITIES WHO DON'T JUST NEED A SCHOOL, BUT WHO ARE INVESTED IN CREATING A SUCCESSFUL ONE. HERE'S HOW WE DO IT. DUE DILIGENCE - WE ARE A GROUND-UP ORGANIZATION. SO WE START ON-THE-GROUND; ON MOTORBIKES, IN THE COUNTRYSIDE, IN CONVERSATION WITH LOCALS. WE SIT IN VILLAGES WITH ELDERS AND EDUCATORS AND WE TALK, ASK QUESTIONS, LISTEN. THEY SHARE STORIES OF THEIR CHILDREN AND COMMUNITIES THAT ALLOW US TO UNDERSTAND THEIR NEEDS AS WELL AS THEIR DEDICATION TO INCREASING OPPORTUNITY FOR THEIR CHILDREN. WE DO THIS IN COUNTLESS VILLAGES, COLLECTING DATA AND TAKING NOTES ALONG THE WAY. BACK AT OUR OFFICE WE PUT TOGETHER PROFILES OF EACH POTENTIAL SITE USING BOTH QUANTIFIABLE STATISTICS AND FIELD OBSERVATIONS. IN ORDER TO CONSISTENTLY AND OBJECTIVELY ASSESS A SITE, WE USE RUBRIC SCORING IN THE AREAS OF NEED, SUSTAINABILITY, COST EFFICIENCY, IMPACT AND LOCAL COMMITMENT. WHEN INTERVIEWS ARE DONE AND NUMBERS ARE CRUNCHED, WE MEET WITH THE EDUCATION MINISTRY TO APPROVE BUILDS AND CONFIRM THE ASSIGNMENT OF A TRAINED TEACHER TO EVERY POTENTIAL SCHOOL. SWEAT EQUITY AND LOCAL SOURCING - AFTER SITES ARE GOVERNMENT CLEARED, COMMUNITY PLANNING BEGINS. WE HIRE A LOCAL CONTRACTOR, CREATE A BUDGET, AND SET MEETINGS WITH THE VILLAGE. THE VILLAGE FORMS A 'PROMISE COMMITTEE' OF EIGHT INDIVIDUALS, FOUR MEN AND FOUR WOMEN. THIS COMMITTEE SIGNS A CONTRACT AGREEING TO OVERSEE THE SUPPORT AND MAINTENANCE OF THEIR SCHOOL THROUGH EACH PHASE OF THE PROCESS, FROM CLEARING THE LAND AND SUPPLYING THE LABOR TO ENCOURAGING ATTENDANCE AND SUPPORTING THE TEACHER. AS PART OF THE LOCAL BUY-IN, EACH VILLAGE CONTRIBUTES 10-20% OF THE TOTAL CONSTRUCTION COST IN THE FORM OF LABOR AND LOCAL MATERIALS. THEY DEDICATE THEIR TIME AND THEIR GOODS TO THE CREATION OF THEIR SCHOOL, ENSURING THAT IT IS NOT A HANDOUT, BUT RATHER A STANDING SOURCE OF LOCAL PRIDE. THE REMAINING MATERIALS ARE SOUGHT OUT LOCALLY, INJECTING MONEY INTO THE LOCAL ECONOMY AND CREATING MINIMAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT THROUGHOUT THE BUILD PROCESS. LOCAL EMPOWERMENT - WE ARE COMMITTED TO SUPPORTING LASTING, SUSTAINABLE EDUCATION; ONCE THE NEW SCHOOL IS COMPLETED AND OPEN, OUR LONG-TERM WORK BEGINS. WE MATCH A LOCAL, HIGH-POTENTIAL YOUNG ADULT WITH EACH SCHOOL AS A POP VILLAGE COORDINATOR. THEY CHECK-IN WITH THE CLASSROOMS BI-MONTHLY TO ENSURE THAT EVERYTHING IS OPERATING SMOOTHLY, THAT THE TEACHER IS FULLY SUPPORTED, TO ORGANIZE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DAYS AND DELIVER SHINE (SEE BELOW FOR DETAILS) LESSONS. THROUGH THIS MAPPING, LASTING RELATIONSHIPS ARE FORMED BETWEEN YOUNG VILLAGE STUDENTS AND EMPOWERED, INSPIRING LOCAL ROLE MODELS. THE COORDINATORS IN TURN BECOME AMBASSADORS OF CHANGE TO THOSE IN GREATEST NEED. AND AS SOON-TO-BE LEADERS, EDUCATORS, POLICY-MAKERS AND PROFESSIONALS, THIS EXPERIENCE AND UNDERSTANDING WILL BE INVALUABLE TO THE FUTURE PROSPERITY OF THEIR COUNTRY. KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER - OUR ON-THE-GROUND OPERATIONS ARE RUN BY A LARGE STAFF OF LOCAL TALENT AND ONE INTEGRATED WESTERNER. WE KNOW THAT THE ONLY ROUTE TO TRULY SUSTAINABLE IMPACT IS LED BY THE LOCALS WHO HAVE A VESTED INTEREST IN THEIR COMMUNITIES. OUR IMPACT IS GROWING QUICKLY; WE'RE BUILDING MORE SCHOOLS AND SUPPORTING MORE STUDENTS DAILY. TO KEEP UP, OUR STAFF IS GROWING EVEN QUICKER. AND THE PEOPLE WE HIRE, WELL, THEY ARE AWESOME. WE HIRE POTENTIAL. YOUNG PEOPLE WHO ARE EAGER TO BE INVOLVED IN SOMETHING AND READY TO LEARN ANYTHING. OUR STAFF IS A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING. THEY ARE ONE OF THE COUNTRY'S ONLY FEMALE ARCHITECTS. THEY ARE A UNIVERSITY STUDENT PUTTING HIMSELF THROUGH SCHOOL WHILE SUPPORTING HIS FAMILY IN HIS VILLAGE. THEY ARE A 21-YEAR-OLD FINANCE STUDENT WHO QUICKLY BECAME THE OFFICE EXCEL MASTER. THEY ARE A WOMEN'S BASKETBALL CHAMPION, WHO IN LESS THAN A YEAR WENT FROM DOING LAUNDRY AT A GUESTHOUSE TO MANAGING OUR ENTIRE BUILD AND DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY. AT EVERY STEP OF THE PROCESS, WE ARE NURTURING THE TALENTS OF KEY LOCAL INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE USING THEIR SKILLS AND THEIR PASSION TO CREATE PROFOUND GOOD. S.H.I.N.E. SANITATION - KEEPING OUR COMMUNITIES AND OURSELVES HEALTHY THROUGH CLEAN WATER USAGE AS WELL AS CLEAN BATHROOM AND WASTE DISPOSAL PRACTICES. HYGIENE - KEEPING OUR BODIES CLEAN TO PREVENT THE SPREAD OF DISEASE BY DEVELOPING CONSISTENT AND EFFECTIVE PRACTICES FOR CLEANING OF HANDS, FACES, HAIR AND TEETH. IDENTITY - CREATING CROSS-CULTURAL UNDERSTANDING BY EXPLORING THE PERSONAL AND CULTURAL HISTORIES OF EVERYONE IN OUR COMMUNITY; REINFORCING PRIDE IN ONE'S CULTURE, GENDER AND POSITION IN COMMUNITY. NUTRITION - PROPER DIET & FOOD HANDLING PRACTICES TO FIGHT MALNUTRITION AND PREVENT THE SPREAD OF DISEASE; UNDERSTANDING THE LONG-TERM AFFECTS OUR HABITS AND BEHAVIORS. ENVIRONMENT - UNDERSTANDING THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EARTH AND OUR COMMUNITIES: RECYCLING, GARBAGE DISPOSAL, AIR QUALITY AND ENERGY SAVING TECHNIQUES. DOMESTICALLY, WE EXPANDED OUR PROGRAMMING INITIATIVES THROUGH THE LAUNCH OF OUR NEW WEBSITE AND THROUGH OUR EVER-EXPANDING OUTREACH PROGRAM FOR BOTH YOUTHS AND PROFESSIONALS. WITH THE HELP OF OUR WEBSITE AND OTHER SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS, WE HAVE AN ONLINE COMMUNITY OF OVER 100,000 MEMBERS AS THE END OF 2010. WE ALSO HAD A SUCCESSFUL SUMMER AND FALL VOLUNTEER INTERNSHIP PROGRAM AND BEGAN YOUTH PROGRAMMING IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS ACROSS THE US. |
