Kairos School
Cuidad Vieja
http://kairoschristianschool.org/
Kairos Christian School began as a dream many years ago as Linda and Antonio Garcia served in the highlands of Guatemala during the long civil war. The dream started to come into reality more than five years ago when the Garcia family started the first Saturday Feeding Program for impoverished children in Ciudad Vieja, Guatemala. Finally, on February 2nd, 2009, Kairos Christian School came into existence. The school offers first through fourth grade high quality private education at almost no cost to the children and can only do so through the generosity of donors from around the world.

Center For Transforming Mission
Guatemala City
http://www.ctmnet.org
Center For Transforming Mission exists to Develop communities of grassroots leaders to serve high-risk youth and families in hard places.
CTM recognizes the most powerful and renewable resource in high-risk communities resides within the communities themselves - the web of people, relationships and institutions that sustain the life of the community. The critical need is to recognize, network and train indigenous leaders to activate these resources in a way that is sustainable.
Unfortunately, the leaders who are closest to the needs are often overlooked and overwhelmed. They do not receive the encouragement or training they deserve. As a result, high-risk communities are vulnerable to well-meaning but unsustainable solutions that are artificially imposed from the outside. Solutions that are not owned and led by the communities themselves suffer along with the people. They fail to experience transformation from the inside out. Therefore, CTM is committed to offering affordable and accessible training that inspires and equips indigenous leaders to be agents of transformation in the context of chronic poverty and violence.
