The
Integral Heart Family
Our three main programs; Critical-Thinking,
Sponsorship, and Nutrition
are designed to break the cycles of
poverty of those who
are currently
living in some
of the poorest neighborhoods
and worst
conditions in
Central America at our school, La Academia, in
Guatemala.
The
Integral Heart Family is a non-profit corporation organized and operated
exclusively
for charitable purposes. We are
empowering
potential with your
support
and investment.

Luke
Armstrong
- Outreach Director
Luke Maguire Armstrong is an author and
humanitarian. He was one of the first people Mick
and Debora met when they moved to Guatemala in
2009. At the time, he was director of the
non-profit where Mick and Debora first
volunteered. Together they worked on the
implementation of educational programming and
solar empowerment projects there.
Luke
has been supporter of Integral Heart since its
founding in 2011. He is a volunteer teacher of
writing, music, meditation, and yoga for our kids.
In 2015, he joined Integral Heart formally as the
outreach director. He spends a portion of each
year conducting events to advocate for Integral
Hearts work. Follow him at @LukeSpartacus

Marisol Hernandez
- School Director (Guatemalan)
Marisol,
seen here with her own family, is our Community Liaison.
She works with our families in Jocotenango, San
Mateo, Panorama and the other areas around Antigua
where we have been working since 2010.
Our sponsored children and their families
receive regular visits from Marisol who then
reports back to the founders on the progress and
needs of our sponsored families.
Marisol's
primary role is to help us bridge
the cultural gap between our desire to
promote education in the children and
the fact that most of the parents still
value an eight year-old who can work to one
who is going to school.
