The program provided each student with essential resources such as school supplies, textbooks, extracurricular activities, and technology. To address learning deficiencies, we offered tutoring classes through the BookTuk Mobile Education program, which includes books and teachers. Additionally, we have an Adult Trade Training Program that provides vocational training for men and women, aiming to promote financial independence and empower individuals to build a brighter future. Through this program, we granted 594 certificates to adult students in 2024. 436132 IMPACTING HEALTHCARE In 2024, we provided high-quality medical care to individuals who would otherwise lack access to essential healthcare services. Dedicated medical volunteers embarked on journeys to Chimaltenango, establishing one-week clinics. Each clinic team diligently attended to a substantial number of patients, totaling 1,728 patients who received care at our clinics. Additionally, surgical teams from around the world traveled to Retalhuleu and successfully performed 140 life-altering surgeries. 290755 IMPACTING HOMES In 2024, our dedicated volunteer teams installed 610 smoke-free stoves and water filters in the homes of families who rely on open fires for cooking. These innovative stoves effectively eliminate smoke within the home, significantly reducing wood consumption by 60%. Moreover, they mitigate the risk of burns among children, ensuring their safety. Additionally, women gain back valuable hours each week, as they spend less time gathering wood. The water filters provide access to clean and safe drinking water, thereby preventing waterborne illnesses and promoting overall well-being. 1453775 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true true false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true X 1 0 true 3 true false true GT false false false false false false false false false false X 14 14 false false false false false false false true true false false false true true true true true true true true false false X Michelle Hollaender 9723480172 3141 Hood Street Suite 800 Dallas TX 75219 Nancy Ellefson Treasurer 1.0 X X 0 0 0 Pamela Larrave Secretary 1.0 X X 0 0 0 Steve Wehn Chairman 1.0 X X 0 0 0 Terri Gordillo Vice-Chairman 1.0 X X 0 0 0 Felipe Sicilia Board Member 1.0 X 0 0 0 Gary Smalley Board Member 1.0 X 0 0 0 Laura Wheat Board Member 1.0 X 0 0 0 Luis Garcia Board Member 1.0 X 0 0 0 Melanie Heartfield Board Member 1.0 X 0 0 0 Paul Dickel Board Member 1.0 X 0 0 0 Ricardo Sieveking Board Member 1.0 X 0 0 0 Scott Canada Board Member 1.0 X 0 0 0 Sylvia Clark Board Member 1.0 X 0 0 0 Whitney Laughlin Board Member 1.0 X 0 0 0 Allen Roeseler COO 50.0 X 87500 0 0 Michelle Hollaender CEO 50.0 X 102000 0 0 189500 0 0 1 false false false 0 632968 778778 1411746 0 0 0 0 0 61455 61455 0 0 30713 1305 29408 0 29408 29408 209093 632968 209093 0 0 0 0 0 0 1502609 0 0 90863 X 189500 155390 22740 11370 106238 87115 12749 6374 19951 16360 2394 1197 32283 27441 3228 1614 56730 48200 5673 2857 471573 387725 55899 27949 15078 12816 1508 754 158784 134966 15878 7940 23686 20133 2369 1184 169425 169425 58404 58404 36643 36643 25068 20556 3008 1504 Program Expenses 268858 268858 Repairs and Maintenance 5091 4175 611 305 Miscellaneous Expenses 4047 3319 486 242 Taxes and Licenses 2743 2249 329 165 0 0 0 0 1644102 1453775 126872 63455 142304 99692 1732173 1265474 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4230 1006217 40223 600501 965994 0 0 0 0 0 0 925 0 2475903 2335390 33230 34265 0 0 75000 75850 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 108230 110115 X 2042673 1010978 325000 1214297 0 0 0 0 0 0 2367673 2225275 2475903 2335390 -141493 -905 0 X false false false X 612265 895705 1176906 1869405 1411746 5966027 0 0 612265 895705 1176906 1869405 1411746 5966027 1018298 4947729 16334 60362 61455 138151 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6104178 16818 0.81055 0.79423 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 843291 10811 832480 162926 29412 133514 965994 Central America and the Caribbean 1 37 Program Services Education, Healthcare, Infrastructure 1292558 1 37 0 0 1 37 1292558 0 1292558 false false false false false false Schedule F, Part I, Line 3 Method used to account for expenditures on org's financial statements CENTRAL AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN-Cash Gala 784082 598430 185652 557 112046 532 10244 62273 Dallas Luncheon 57979 34538 23441 14147 9294 0 842061 632968 209093 557 126193 532 10244 71567 209093 0 Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b Review of form 990 by governing body THE FORM 990 AND ALL RELATED SCHEDULES WILL BE SAVED AS A PDF FILE AND EMAILED TO ALL BOARD MEMBERS FOR THEIR REVIEW PRIOR TO THE NEXT BOARD MEETING AND FILING WITH THE IRS.
