Youth and Community Development Program: El Salvador, Guatemala y Honduras QUARTERLY REPORT APRIL - JUNE 2018 INTRODUCCIÓN
As the program approaches the middle of the year, the pace of implementation increases, with the first round of competitions in soccer and debate, academic field trips, and technical camps. These types of activities not only give participants the opportunity to apply the knowledge acquired to date, but also diversify their experience and enrich their development.
As an organization, Glasswing always seeks to innovate, identify, develop, and implement best practices that contribute to the positive development of children and youth and strengthening the community. To this end, in 2017, Glasswing, with the support of the Tinker Foundation and in collaboration with the Crime Laboratory of the University of Chicago and FUSADES, became a pilot in five schools of cognitive-behavioral therapy and mindfulness practice. In 2018, this has been extended to 18 Community Schools in El Salvador. During this quarter, the initiative was fully implemented to evaluate the results at the end of the year. DEVELOPING LIFE SKILLS
SUCCESS STORY
“Participating in the Discovery Club helped me improve my attitude and change aspects of my life that could have caused problems in the future. One of the best things that happened to me is belonging to Glasswing.”
- Josué, 14 years old, PS Ramón Montoya Cerrato, Tegucigalpa
In the period of transition from childhood to adolescence, Josué began to hang out with a few kids he considered were his friends. They influenced him to change his attitude towards his school work, his home, and his classmates, even influencing him to stop attending the Discovery Club. “Last year, I began to live with young people from my neighborhood who do not study, but who always invite me to play or be with them. A couple of times they told me not to go to the club because it was a waste of time and that I would have a better time with them. I accepted their invitation once, but it was not what I expected. They turned out to be people who were involved in gangs,” explained Josué.
Josué is a young man full of joy and passion for science. He decided to enter the Discovery Club four years ago, and his mother supported his decision. Here, he he discovered that the best thing to do over time was to invest in learning more and more. “Before I was always satisfied with passing my classes with acceptable grades, I was not a student who was 100% dedicated to my grades. But, that changed once I joined the Discovery Club, as I was motivated to improve my grades and change my attitude towards school,” Josué said.
He commented that, in one of the sessions of the club, the volunteer made a reference to the experiments and life. The volunteer said that everything was related and that all our actions and attitudes would have a reaction in our lives. “That session of the club was one of the ones I liked the most. I was taught how to do an experiment and the volunteer’s words made me change my attitude. I decided to get away from my friends because I knew they would not bring me anything positive,” Josué added.
Josué now participates in the Soccer Club, as well. He likes to share everything he learns in the clubs with his brother. He is becoming a guide for him and other children at the school. His mother, who also actively participates as a volunteer, mentioned feeling very proud of her son. She says he is now an example for other children, especially for his younger brother.

INCREASING COMMUNITY SERVICE
SUCCESS STORY
Glendys Teacher, Herbert de Sola Public School, Jayaque, El Salvador
Glendys is a teacher and mother. She has been teaching for seven years. Every day, she sees the two faces of Salvadoran education: in the morning, she works in a private school located in Lourdes Colón and in the afternoons, she teaches natural sciences at Herbert de Sola Public School, located in Jayaque.
In the rural areas, Glendys says that most parents do not pay much attention to the education of their children. Many of the children start doing agricultural work with their parents at an early age. “It is common for children to start missing classes from 5th or 6th grade because they have to go to work,” she says.
Last year, Fundación de Sola and Glasswing, with the support of USAID, joined forces to work with the school. The extracurricular program intrigued parents and students alike. Nobody knew what to expect. It was the first time a program like this had reached the community. Glendys herself did not really know what her role as a volunteer would be. Even so, she decided to join the initiative.
After her first year of volunteering, Glendys says she feels happy to have accepted the challenge. She says volunteering helped her learn new methods of teaching that she also tries to put into practice during regular school classes. “It helped me become a better teacher. They were simple things that had to change and I did not know. Now the children participate more in classes and pay more attention,” she says with great joy.
As a faculty member at the school, Glendys says that the arrival of Fundación de Sola and Glasswing has also improved the relationships among teachers. While they had never had tense relationships or altercations, there is a new sense of teamwork among them. Regardless of whether the conferences take place on Saturdays or during non-working hours, many of the teachers join the activities proposed in the clubs.
The desire to learn among students has also increased. “The children come up to one or two hours before the club begins, sometimes they do up to three experiments and ask to stay later,” she says. Students from other schools have even approached them, asking to join the clubs.
The program has also been well received by parents, as many feel that the arrival of the program at school is opening new opportunities for their children. Glendys affirms that the initiative has managed to unite the community in a very short time. INCREASING COMMUNITY SERVICE
SUCCESS STORY
“We come to this life to serve others” Abdías, Volunteer Educator, Guatemala
Abdias is an 18-year-old boy who lives in the Boca del Monte neighborhood, located south of the capital city. He lives with his three brothers and his parents, who have been his greatest support during his adolescence. He felt the support of his family was stronger when he finished third year of high school and decided to abandon his studies because of a very difficult family situation that affected him emotionally. “I dropped out of school and I did not have a job. It was a very difficult year for me. I know I have to finish high school, but for the moment it is still a pending task, because I need to generate income to be able to continue,” he says.
Later, Abdias found motivation in classical music and began studying piano at the National Conservatory of Music. His effort led him to win a scholarship to continue studying at a private music academy, where he is about to complete his second year in the career of professional musician. Seeking more opportunities to get ahead, Abdias learned about Glasswing through a scholarship notice to study English. As he learned more about Glasswing’s work, he became interested in volunteering in extracurricular clubs and enrolled to volunteer in the Homework Club at the José Miguel Vasconcelos School.
“From my participation in the clubs, I realized that there are many children who need attention who have their own problems. As a volunteer, I can help to improve the life of someone else,” he said. This way of thinking has made Abdías not only get involved in the Homework Club, but also support the office one or two hours per week managing volunteer databases, assembling kits of materials, and supporting during youth entrepreneurship fairs.
Long term, Abdías hopes to perfect his English and join a call center as his first job, and to seek another scholarship to finish his career as a pianist. ACTIVITIES

Beneficiaries of Community Cafes: The implementation of the community cafes component is 65% at the regional level and is the component with the greatest delay in execution. The countries have planned to implement activities aimed at new family members and the educational community that provides services through the clubs as volunteers.
To date, 3,750 people have benefited through community cafe sessions, giving family members and teachers the opportunity to participate in spaces where they reflect on issues of relevance for the development of students. The themes developed are dialogue, bullying, the use of social networks, the use of support and the establishment of limits as actions to promote discipline. On a personal level, the participants received topics such as the handling of feelings, emotions, fears and tensions, personal and family resilience, and others.
By country, the execution is similar to the regional one. Guatemala has executed 67% of its goal, with the goal of involving 455 new participants. El Salvador has executed 63% of its goal and to complete it, it projects the involvement of 854 new participants in the spaces for dialogue. In Honduras, its execution is 65%, and, to complete the component, its projection is to involve 748 new participants.
Indicator 5: Number of young people participating in civic initiatives, leadership
In total, 5,407 young people from the three countries have been involved in leadership initiatives. The initiatives include clubs for the development of community projects, youth forums that seek to meet young people and promote new learning experiences and social entrepreneurship projects and advocacy projects in politics. The indicator of the total number of young people participating in leadership initiatives has a satisfactory regional progress of 86%. Indicator 6: Number of projects designed by young people The component has been implemented in collaboration with partners such as Plataforma Seguridad Juvenil Centroamericana (until December 2017) and Jóvenes contra la Violencia. Altogether, an advance of 71% has been achieved in the number of projects designed by young people. To date, 356 project proposals have been designed in social areas to improve the conditions of recreational spaces and equipment for schools, development of opportunities for youth such as workshops, municipal advocacy proposals, and other ventures.
Graph of absolute execution is presented in the number of projects that have been designed at the regional level. By country, execution is 94% for Guatemala, a goal that was mostly covered by the youth projects associated with the Central American Youth Security Platform and, to date, has 89 proposals submitted by young people.
El Salvador has 70% execution, mostly proposals of the leadership component of Glasswing. To date, it has strengthened spaces for the presentation of 161 project proposals prepared by young people.
In Honduras, execution is delayed with a 61% progress rate that translates into 106 proposals submitted. The difficulty in Honduras has to do with the participation of volunteers in the Leadership Club in 2016 which was an important factor that influenced the completion and presentation of proposals at the end of that year in Tegucigalpa. At the end of the fiscal period, Honduras will add 45 new project proposals. Indicator 7: Number of projects designed by young people who have implemented projects It was established that three out of ten proposals presented by the young people were implemented by the allocation of resources. The projects implemented, in general, are those that met all the feasibility and impact criteria. For this case, the execution of the goal is 57% at the regional level. To date, 86 of the 150 proposed projects have been implemented.
By the end of the fiscal year, we foresee the implementation of 41 projects proposed by young people from schools and the implementation of at least 10 plans of incidence of Youth Against Violence, increasing progress to 51 implemented project execution for this component.
Indicator 8: Active schools with extracurricular program The progress of active schools with the extracurricular program was reduced to 95% due to the closure of a school in El Salvador, which ceased activities due to lack of institutional cooperation on the part of school authorities. Although the closure affected the students who will no longer receive the services, it did not affect the overall progress for El Salvador as it had already exceeded its goal of attended schools. However, this did have an impact on the progress of the regional goal.
In Guatemala and Honduras, the beginning of operations in new schools is subject to new alliances with companies that decide to contribute as a counterpart to the project. We foresee that the alliances with Summit and Citi Foundations can provide opportunities for the implementation of Children’s Clubs and Girls’ Clubs, as well as Entrepreneurship Clubs, as well as the program being extended to new schools.
Indicator 9: Revitalized public spaces The school revitalization component has a satisfactory performance of 83% at the regional level. To date, 260 public spaces have been revitalized, of which 252 are public schools and eight are spaces used by youth, which are mostly recreational spaces.
By country, execution for Guatemala is 94% with 93 spaces intervened, execution for El Salvador is 80% with 122 revitalized spaces, and execution for Honduras is 71% with 45 spaces. Honduras’s execution is the one with the greatest delay considering the volume of target spaces. It is expected that, before the end of 2018, ten new schools will be intervened, leveling the execution progress of Honduras at the regional level. III. ANALYSIS BY GENDER In general, the attention of participants by gender throughout the project complies with the participation standards, given that there is no attention gap in the services provided since 2013 to date. Currently, the distribution of the entire populations served by gender is 49.6% of the male population and 50.4% of the female population.
