Letter from the director
2012 has been a year of many
changes for EntreMundos, perhaps
appropriately for the year of 13
Baktun, a new era for the Mayan
calendar. We have several new
members of staff, among them our
Development Coordinator, our
Volunteer Program Coordinator,
and Capacity Building Program
Assistant.
However, despite new faces,
EntreMundos remains commited to
its mission as an organization and
we continue to work to strengthen
non-profit organizations and
community groups all over the
country. In 2012 we have been
able to increase the impact of our
projects, and have worked with
organizations in 13 different
departments of Guatemala, a
positive sign that the work we are
doing is much needed in the
development sector of the
country.
Thank you so much for your
ongoing support.

Introduction
EntreMundos was founded in 2001 with the aim of building the
capacity and enhancing the effectiveness of local grassroots
organisations dedicated to improving development and
human rights within their communities and in Guatemala as a
whole. The persistent problems of poverty, marginalisation and
social exclusion that persevere throughout the country have
led to hundreds of such organisations being established in order
to address urgent and critical needs within their communities
and to contribute to the social, economic and environmental
development of Guatemala.
These organisations work on a huge variety of issues, including,
but not limited to: environmental sustainability; agriculture;
micro-credit and local economic development; citizen
participation; youth; childcare; education; health;
infrastructure; fair trade; advocacy and defending/promoting
the human rights of women, campesinos, and indigenous
peoples. Despite these organisations´ dedication to improving
the vital issues that they face, many of them are struggling to
survive due to limited funds and resources, and require
additional skills and training in order to effectively manage their
organisations and deliver successful development programs to
the populations they serve.
Opportunities for such organisations to develop their capacities
and receive training specifically related to organizational
management and project planning and administration for
development are scarce in Guatemala (as evidenced by the
need of some organisations to travel such long distances in
order to attend our workshops), and usually involve either
securing an elusive partnership with a large, international NGO
or paying fees that are simply out of the reach of small,
grassroots organisations.
5
The Solution - The EntreMundos approach
EntreMundos’ mission is to address this gap and provide such
organisations with the crucial support and training they need
to become self-sustainable and implement effective projects
and programmes that can make a real and lasting difference
to the problems of poverty and marginalisation in Guatemala.
The majority of organisations that EntreMundos works with are
relatively small, grassroots organisations that have arisen when
a group of people come together to confront a common
problem within their community or communities. As such, these
organisations know what needs to be done in their
communities; our objective as an organisation is to provide
them with the skills, knowledge and human resources
(volunteers) that they need so that they are better placed to
achieve their own development objectives.
Our goal is to continue providing organizations with the
support that they need in order to be more sustainable and
efficient, so that their own projects are effective and
successful. In this way we will continue cause a high level of
positive impact in all of the different sectors that the
organizations work in.
In addition we will raise awareness amongst the popluation of
the vital work that these grass roots organazations undertake,
and the social issues that effect all of Guatemalan society.

Introduction
2012, the year of a new (controversial) president, a
devastating earthquake in the west of the country,
and the ongoing global economic instability.
However, 2012 was an exciting year for EntreMundos
and the Volunteer Program. 137 volunteers
participated in one of the four services offered by the
association.
In 2012, the Volunteer Program focused on
strengthening the various services of the program.
Through the database updating process and the
renewal of our policies, the quality of information and
volunteer positions available improved. Relations with
hosting organizations part of the Internship Program
have been improved, resulting in a more effective
collaboration and also the expansion of internship
program. We have also worked on the maintenance
of existing and potential university relationships for our
Community Service Program through outreach work.

Advisory Services
Between January and December of 2012,
108 people interested in volunteer work
used the Advisory Service. This service takes
place in the office of EntreMundos between
2 and 5pm, Monday to Friday, offering
personalized advice to both national and
international volunteers and arranging
volunteer placements with local
organizations part of our database.
Pre-Departure Service
13 people used this service in 2012.
EntreMundos requests a symbolic donation
from interested volunteers, which includes
advice, assistance, and arrangements of
suitable accommodation, as well as
information and support before volunteers
leave their country of origin.
Community Service-Learning Program
In March 2012, EntreMundos received a
group of 10 people from Bridgewater State
University in Boston, United States. They
participated in the Community Service-
Learning Program for 7 days. The group
worked on a reforestation project, painted
a school, and built stoves for a womens
group and their families. They also
participated in various cultural activities.
After this experience with EntreMundos and
the Community Service-Learning Program,
Bridgewater State University decided to
return to Guatemala in 2013 with another
group of students.
9
Internship Program
Since this program began in 2011, it has increased significantly in scope.
The amount of 8 internship position expanded to 14 positions in 6
organizations in 2012. From January to December, a total of 6 interns was
part of the Internship Program, which is double that of last year. Some of
them received university credit for their internship completion; others were
offered a permanent job in the hosting organization. The Internship
Program was developed with the purpose of attracting skilled,
professional volunteers, with the possibility of compromising long term,
serving the specific needs of the hosting organizations. EntreMundos
requests a symbolic donation for each month of the program, which is
divided equally between EntreMundos and the hosting organization, This
service includes assistance and support for the volunteer before and
during the internship, monthly evaluations, and a certificate of
completion.
Volunteer Database
This service remains a significant part of the Volunteer Program. In 2012,
the information of organizations and positions in the database has been
updated, resulting in a better quality of service. Some organizations have
been removed from the database due to failure to comply with the
requirements set by EntreMundos such as updating their information and
signing the child protection policies.
87 organizations are currently part of our database.
Objectives for 2013
Feedback collected from volunteers and organizations of any volunteer
program service remains a high priority in order to improve the program.
EntreMundos works particularly on the maintenance of relationships
established in our Internship Program, being an essential part of the
Volunteer Program. The series of workshops on administration and
management of volunteers will be repeated in 2013, as an important
element of our Capacity Building Program to assist organizations receiving
volunteers.
10
The EntreMundos Magazine: following the path set
by our vision and mission, the EntreMundos
Magazine has acheived another successful year
thanks to the volunteer effort of many individuals
and organizations who have reached out to raise
awareness on issues such as Human Rights,
Development and Grassroots Movement in
Guatemala.
In every issue the magazine includes the work of
over 15 different volunteers between: writers,
translators, designers and photographers.
This enables us to run a self-sustainable project, with
emphasis above on on freedom of speech; with
the aim of spreading a message of peace and
awareness in a country where the normal media
channels are committed to their own economical
and political interest.

12
During 2012 we published six
editions of the magazine. Each
issue is based on a specific theme,
and that aims to allow different
opinions and voices to comment
on the
The themes of 2012 were:
Agua (Water) (january-feb).
Indignación (Protest)(march-ap)
Economía (Economy)(may.-june)
Comida (Food)(july-august),
Utopía (Utopia) (sept-oct)
Literatura (Literature) (nov-dic),
Amongst our writers we have had
many diverse personalities, and to
mention them all would require a
great amount of space, But we
would like to give a special
mention to those who have
contributed to at least three issues,
their journalistic work is very
important to the country, using
their wit and intelligence in
criticism of the system.

Capacity
Building
Workshops
15
Introduction
2012 has been the most successful year to date for our
Capacity Building Workshop Programme, whose objective was
to strengthen the institutional capacities of NGOs,
cooperatives and grassroots groups in Guatemala through the
implementation of a series of capacity building workshops. A
large number of organisations that work in a wide range of
development sectors participated in these workshops, and
numerous participated in several of our courses thereby
multiplying the impact that our services were able to achieve
on the work of their organisations.
16
Through our Needs Assessment, which we
conducted in January and February of 2012,
we were able to identify the capacity
building needs of our partner organisations
and with this information we put together a
series of workshops that could best meet
these needs.
This series was divided into a total of five
courses, which are detailed below:
A six, half-day “Diplomado” course in Best
Practices in Volunteer Administration:
13th April – 18th May
A two-day Fundraising Workshop: 25th
May and 8th June
A four-day “Diplomado” course in
Management of Sustainable
Development Projects: 3rd – 31st August
A two-day Institutional Strengthening
Workshop: 19th and 26th October
A two-day Advocacy Workshop: 27th
and 28th November
We began our series of training workshops
with our first “Diplomado” in Best Practices in
Volunteer Administration, which took place
between April and May. The course totalled 6
sessions of 4 hours each, every Friday for 6
weeks. The contents of course included
designing volunteer positions; creating
volunteer policies; interviews; volunteer
training and supervision; and elaborating a
manual for volunteers.
The overall objective of the “Diplomado” was
to assist the organisations of the participants
learn from the best practices in volunteer
management, so that those who were
already working with volunteers could take
advantage of their support to the greatest
extent, and that those who were interested in
starting a volunteer programme could do so
in a strategic and structured manner.
17
Our second workshop, held in May and June, was focused on fundraising
strategies for local nonprofit organisations. As a direct result of this workshop,
the participated developed logical frameworks for projects that they were
currently seeking funding for, and were provided with the skills and
knowledge to use these logframes in order to complete and improve their
funding applications.
After the excellent comments and ratings that we received for our 2011
“Diplomado” in Project Investigation and Design, we decided to hold another
Diplomado in august of 2012 in Management of Sustainable Development
Projects. This course focused on project planning and management for
development projects, with an emphasis on ensuring their sustainability on
various fronts. A total of 37 representatives of 30 different organisations
participated in this course, and as a direct result 25 project profiles were
created by the participants, and various of these profiles were able to obtain
funding so that their projects could be implemented.
The objective of our workshop in Institutional Strengthening and Capacity
Development, which we held in October, was to provide the participants with
the necessary tools to analyse their organisations so that they could initiate
and implement their own institutional strengthening strategies in order to
enhance their organisations´ performance and sustainability. The participants
learned about the different dimensions and types of capacities (and the
strategies required to strengthen them), and how to assess their organisations
attitude and readiness for change.
Our final workshop of the year was on advocacy strategies and took place in
November. The objectives of this workshop was to deepen the knowledge of
the participants on advocacy, its objectives and its strategies; and to provide
them with concrete tools in order to plan and implement advocacy
strategies, with a focus at the local, municipal and departmental level.
In addition to this series of workshops which we held in EntreMundos´
headquarters, we also realised a follow-up workshop with the Asociación
Chajulense de Mujeres, for whom we had delivered a series of institutional
strengthening workshops during 2011. During this one-day workshop, members
from Association discussed the progress that they had made since the last
workshop and, together with Walter Hillermann, put together a list of priorities
for other aspects which they still needed to strengthen over the upcoming
year.
Our workshops were attended by an accumulative total of 343 directors and
staff members of NGOs, cooperatives and grassroots groups. These
beneficiaries represented 79 organisations, with headquarters in 13 of the 22
departments of Guatemala.

Community
Tourism
19
Guatemala is a country that posseses a unique natural beauty
and an enormous ecological and cultural diversity. Tourism is
one of the principal sources of income for the country as a
whole, and if correctly managed, can provide an alternative
source of income for rural communities previously entirely
dependent on agricultura. The groups that start to develop
this type of projects very often lack the internanal
organizational structure necessary to define their objectives
and take effective decisions. These organizations need to
identify the necesary methods to manage their natural
resourrces in an efficient way, in order to receive stable and
controled amounts of visitors and thus generate sustainable
income, with the aim of benefiting their community, both
economically and environmentally.
.
Community
Tourism
20
This capacity building program places an emphasis
on training groups in best practice in administration
for their projects. At the same time as attracting
visitors to their community, steps must be taken by the
group to maintain the integrity of their cultura and of
course protect the environment.
The overall objective of the ‘Best Practice in
Community Tourism’ program is to strengthen these
non profit and grassroots community groups who are
working in the first stages of a community tourism
project, with the aim of creating a successful project
that will provide a diversity of income to the
community.
The 2012-2013 program comprised of three sub-
components: 1) A four day ‘Introduction to
Community Tourism’ course held in Quetzaltenango
for four new groups, 2) Needs assessment and follow
up workshops for the six groups who participated in
2011-2012 ‘Introduction to Community Tourism’ course
and 3) Follow up workshops for the four participant
organizations held in their communities.
course and 3) Follow up workshops for the four
participant organizations held in their communities.
Introduction to Community Tourism Course
The four day ‘Introduction to Community Tourism
Course’ was an intensive training course designed to
introduce two participants feach rom 4 different
communities to the general themes of ‘Community
Tourism’ and identify areas where their organization
needed strengthening.
TThe themes covered during the four days included:
Tourism/Cultural Tourism/Eco-Tourism
Management
promotion and creation of strategic alliances.
21
local run tour operator
Spanish language school
around Xela.
Follow up workshops with individual groups and
communities
These follow up workshops were planned and
facilitated by EntreMundos staff and external
facilitators. Needs assessments were conducted by
visiting the communities and assessing their progress
and based on the results of those, the themes and
contents of the workshops were designed specifically
for each group.
Themes for the follow up workshops included:
Marketing and Promotion Strategy and Planning
Creation of Strategic Alliances
Needs Analysis and Creation of Strategic Plans
Business Plan Creation
Marketing online
Overall, this programme worked with 8 groups (the
reasons for why two groups could not participate is
explained in the individual group breakdown), but the
overall number of people trained surpassed the
objective. Considering the figures for the four days
of training in Quetzaltenango plus all of the follow
up workshops, 73 people in total were trained.

Training
Program IT Skills
23
Our IT Skills Training Programme provides IT training to
members of local NGOs, cooperatives and grassroots
groups from our computer room at EntreMundos’
headquarters. This programme aspires to assist
organisations to develop their IT skills so that they can
strengthen their communication and administration,
enhance their online visibility, and improve their abilities to
seek out and secure funding.
2012 marked an important step forward for our IT
Programme as we were able to replace our (very) old
computers with 10 brand new computers thanks to funding
from our donors. This enabled us to offer a much wider
variety of computer courses, without neglecting our vital
Beginner’s and Intermediate Level Courses.
The courses that we offered in 2012 were: Website Design
and Administration (20 weeks); Beginner’s and
Intermediate Level; Online Marketing and Fundraising; and
Use of Project Management Software (5 weeks each).
Training
Program IT Skills
24
Each of these courses was able to achieve
significant successes over the course of the
year. The Beginner’s Level Course provided
the participants with the skills to be able to
use computers for their work for the first time,
and they were able to open and use their
first email accounts. In the Intermediate Level
Course the participants learned how to use
advanced features of Microsoft Word and
the basic capabilities of Excel and
PowerPoint. The Intermediate Level Course
was a direct continuation from the Beginner’s
Course and many of the participants from
the first course progressed to complete the
next level in order to further develop their IT
abilities.
In the Online Marketing and Fundraising
Course the participants learned how to
develop effective online communication
strategies through Facebook and Blogger,
and they also set up accounts on Ammado
which enabled them to be able to receive
donations online for the first time.
During our Use of Project Management
Software Course the participants developed
a project in the programme OpenProj with
data from one of their organisation’s own
projects and through this process leaned
how to use the programme to digitally
administer various project management tools
(such as Gantt charts, Work and Resource
Based Structures, Critical Paths, etc.). Finally,
during our 20 week long Website Design
Course each participant designed a website
for their organisations, representing the first
page online for many of the participating
organisations.
Over the course of 2012, the IT Skills Training
Programme was able to strengthen the IT
abilities of a total of 44 staff members from 32
development organisations.

The Planet Wheeler Foundation was established in 2008 by Maureen
and Tony Wheeler, founders of Lonely Planet Publications. Planet
Wheeler is based in Melbourne, Australia and currently funds over 60
projects in the developing world. While they focus on South East Asia,
East Africa and South America they currently provide support to
NGOs in 30 different countries. Their purpose is to support practical
and effective projects which make a difference in the alleviation of
poverty.
Planet Wheeler has been partnering EntreMundos since 2006 most
notably on our Community Capacity Building Workshop Program
which was launched in 2007. For more information about the
organization please visit www.planetwheeler.org
The Inter-American Health Alliance (IAHA) is a U.S.-based 501(c) 3
non-profit that was started by volunteers to support development
operations in Guatemala. IAHA acts as EntreMundos’ US fiscal
sponsor and takes no percentage of grants processed through them
for this service.
IAHA also manages individual donations made through our website.
It is entirely volunteer-run, which means that the maximum amount of
funds raised go directly to EntreMundos in Guatemala. IAHA's status
as a tax-exempt organization also allows U.S. donors to receive a tax
discount on their donation to EntreMundos.
IAHA also works closely with other charitable U.S.-based groups and
universities to develop sustainable relationships that can help support
the work of EntreMundos. For more information about the
organization, please visit www.interamericanhealth.org
