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.

Page 5: EntreMundos Annual report 2012

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.

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.

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.

Magazine

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.

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.

Page 16: EntreMundos Annual report 2012

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.

Page 17: EntreMundos Annual report 2012

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

Page 19: EntreMundos Annual report 2012

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.

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.

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.

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).

Program IT Skills

Page 24: EntreMundos Annual report 2012

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
