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 AND UP AND A CENTER FOR PRESCHOOL CHILDREN. 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 VOLUNTEER FOR TERMS OF SIX 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 5 EMPLOYEES AND BENEFITS FROM A GREAT DEAL OF VOLUNTEER ASSISTANCE AS WELL. HIGHLIGHTS OF 2010 INCLUDE:HIRING NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR RICHARD SCHMALTZ, WHO HAS EXTENSIVE EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE AS A TEACHER, PRINCIPAL, AND ADMINISTRATOR IN THE CANADIAN SCHOOL SYSTEMS. RICHARD AND HIS WIFE, SUSAN, WERE LONG INVOLVED IN SAFE PASSAGE AS VOLUNTEERS AND WERE INSTRUMENTAL IN WORKING WITH FOUNDER HANLEY DENNING TO ESTABLISH THE TEACHING MODEL FOR SAFE PASSAGE'S YOUNGEST STUDENTS.CREATING A TEACHER TRAINING PROGRAM FOR THE EARLY CHILDHOOD CENTER THAT IS BASED ON LONG-TERM STUDY AND RESEARCH AND HELPS CREATE AN ATMOSPHERE OF TRUST IN WHICH CHILDREN CAN LEARN AT THEIR OWN PACE. SUPPORT FOR MORE THAN 400 CHILDREN TO ATTEND PUBLIC PRIMARY SCHOOLS AND TO PARTICIPATE IN SAFE PASSAGE'S HALF-DAY EDUCATIONAL REINFORCEMENT CENTER WHERE THEY RECEIVE ASSISTANCE WITH THEIR HOMEWORK AND SCHOOL STUDIES, A DAILY NUTRITIOUS MEAL AND SNACKS, MEDICAL ATTENTION, AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES.
