Greetings
from all of us at The Integral Heart Foundation in
Guatemala. This year has roared off to a great
start.
We are solidifying our core programs,
Sponsorships, Kindergartens, Integral
Education, and Solar and we are also
working on forming our non-profit entity here
in Guatemala. As
always, we
are most
grateful for your support!
Here are
some highlights of what has been going on! Debora, Mick, Liz, Reinhard, and all the
team at IHF. |
Evolving
Culture
 |
Education is the heart of the work of
the Integral Heart Foundation in
Guatemala. The Critical-Thinking
Program for teenagers is about
changing culture from the inside out.
We are working towards this goal, not
by teaching our students what to
think, but by teaching them how
to think for themselves.
In April we had a special event as
part of our Wisdom Speaker Series.
This guest lecturer was Andrew
Cohen and it was hosted
by Derek Steele at the Centro
de Ideas in Antigua Guatemala.
The depth of the teachings that were
delivered made for a
great evolution of consciousness and
culture in Guatemala
and it really felt as if we were in
Plato’s Academia.

Rachel's
Amazing Work
 |
Rachel Kantor (13) of Massachusetts, with the help
of her mom
Lisa, has committed to sponsoring
Carmen (12) in Guatemala.
Rachel
is having her Bat Mitzvah (Jewish
rite-of-passage in which
she assumes adult responsibility for
her values and religious/
spiritual endeavors). As part of this
rite of passage, she has decided
to make sponsoring Carmen her
"Mitzvah project," a project
in which
she participates in "tikkun olam"
or "healing the world."
And, so far she has raised over
$1,200 from family and friends!

Look
at the difference in 2 years!
 |
In
January of 2011, one of the
Guatemalan project directors
with whom we work told us of three particularly
needy children,
Luis, Jimena and Chente (see here to
the left - click image for
the full size version).
These three were abandoned in an
environment of irresponsible
and addicted adults, not unusual here
in Guatemala. But, they
were to become the first three kids in
our Kindergarten Program.
Just look at Chente, two years since
we found him!
