Organizations Filed Purposes:
SEND ME IS ORGANIZED TO ASSIST IMPOVERISHED COMMUNITIES IN GUATEMALA VIA MISSION TRIPS THAT PROVIDE FOOD DISTRIBUTION, STUDENT SPONSORSHIPS, BUILDING PROJECTS, AND EDUCATION/TRAINING.
IN 2019, SEND ME RECRUITED AND HOSTED SIX MISSION TEAMS WITH A TOTAL OF 101 VOLUNTEERS. THESE TEAMS BROUGHT TREMENDOUS VALUE TO THEIR TIME IN COUNTRY. ONE TEAM BUILT A HOME FOR A WIDOW AND HER FAMILY. THREE TEAMS WENT TO PUBLIC SCHOOLS HOSTING EVENTS THAT INCLUDED: SINGING, PHYSICAL EXERCISE, AND A MOVIE SHOWN IN THEIR UNITQUE K'ICHE' LANGAUGE. WATER FILTERS WERE PROVIDED TO AT RISK FAMILIES WHO LACKED ACCESS TO CLEAN DRINKING WATER. SOME FAMILIES HAD ONLY RIVER WATER FOR SANITATION AND HYGIENE. TWO TEAMS HOSTED A VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL WHERE CHILDREN COULD PLAY, DO CRAFTS, WIN PRIZES, AND HEAR FAMOUS BIBLE STORIES. THE AVERAGE DAILY ATTENDANCE WAS 150. CHILDREN WERE GIVEN TOOTH BRUSHES AND TOOTHPASTE, SOAP, WASH CLOTHES, BACKPACKS, AND SCHOOL SUPPLIES SUCH AS PENCILS AND CRAYONS.
RAY OF HOPE IS A GOVERNMENT RUN SCHOOL FOR CHILDREN WHO HAVE DISABILITIES. SEND ME WORKS WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND LOCAL HOSPITAL TO PROVIDE STUDENTS AND OTHER QUALIFIED CHILDREN WHO HAVE DISABILITIES WITH MEDICINES, VITAMINS, DIAPERS, EXAMS, MEDICAL PROCEDURES, AND SURGERIES. IN 2019, SEND ME SPONSORED 52 STUDENTS. SEND ME SPONSORS 100% OF TWO SALARIES FOR THIS PROGRAM, A FULL TIME PHYSICAL THERAPIST AND NURSE. THE PHYSICAL THERAPIST PROVIDES CARE FOR AN AVERAGE OF 28 STUDENTS WEEKLY. HOME VISITATIONS ARE PROVIDED BY THE NURSE WHO PERFORMS ADDITIONAL CHECK-UPS AND HELPS TRAIN PARENTS ON HOW TO CARE FOR THEIR CHILD WITH DISABILITIES. SEND ME WORKS TO ENSURE THAT THE CHILDREN GET PROPERLY DIAGNOSED AND THAT THEY RECEIVE THE MEDICINES PRESCRIBED BY THE DOCTORS. DISABILITIES ARE OFTEN MISUNDERSTOOD LEADING MANY OF THESE CHILDREN TO SUFFER NEEDLESSLY. THIS PROGRAM IS ABLE TO RAISE AWARENESS OF THE VALUE AND BEAUTY WITHIN THE CHILD WHO HAS SPECIAL NEEDS. THE PROGRESS CAN BE LIFE CHANGING WHEN A 7 YEAR OLD IS ABLE TO TAKE THEIR FIRST STEPS AND FAMILY LIFE IS IMPROVED.
SEND ME ENCOURAGES INDIVIDUALS TO GIVE OF THEMSELVES TO THOSE LESS FORTUNATE. IN 2019, WE HIRED A COUPLE TO OVERSEE THE PROJECTS AIMED TO FIGHT POVERTY THROUGH COMPASSION. THIS INCLUDED A ONE-TIME PURCHASE FOR A VEHCILE THAT COULD HANDLE THE UNPAVED MOUNTAINOUS ROADS. THE VEHICLE WAS 26.6% OF 2019 NP INCOME. THE EMPLOYEES ADMINISTRATE ALL PROJECTS WHICH INCLUDE: STARTING AND TEACHING A VOCATIONAL SCHOOL PROGRAM TO DEVELOP SKILL AND BREAK THE MENTALITY OF POVERTY; MISSION TEAMS; THE RAY OF HOPE PROGRAM, CONSTRUCTION OF HOMES FOR WIDOWS, AND OTHER COMMUNITY NEEDS.
