- We continued to support two single mothers who are attending local universities.  They hope to finish school soon so as to be able to support their family with a better income.

- Demand for English classes maintain strong and student enrollment high.

- Collaboration with two local non-profits here in Leon extend our reach and impact

- 1st ever Adelante medical brigade with sponsors/organizers/board members Jay Sueno and Megan Arhart.  Veterinarians saw over 200 animals, dentists treated over 100 patients and doctors/nurses saw over 200 patients.  All medical personal volunteered their time free of charge and medical materials were provided free thanks to the fundraising Jay and Megan did.

- Board member Amanda Rough visited Leon and taught a highly requested free Microsoft Excel and Word class

- Both Nicaraguan English teachers hired did an excellent job this year, and fulfilled all requirements asked of them.

In 2012 our goals in general are to expand our programs while maintaining our current level of sustainability. 

- Continue and delegate more work to our new accountant 

- Give more classes and responsibility to the two Nicaraguan teachers

- Vecinos project will be done entirely by Nicaraguan support staff in collaboration with Polly and Myra, leaving director Mateo Garibaldi out so they can begin doing the project on their own and relying more on local support

- Search for Nicaraguan to teach upper level English classes to begin phasing out the necessity of an American English teacher

- Continue to use volunteers to offer unique community classes.

- Expand english classes through more advertisement

A big thank you to all of our wonderful donors!
