The next phase of evolution of Open Institute is to launch a mobile app, that will help to streamline communications, and make fundraising/donating more accessible to a wider audience. In order to make this happen, additional funding is needed to finish the app development, before its able to launch.
A quick update on the puppies, soon they will be sterilized ⭕️ two of the five got stolen, the three remaining are all females 👀
The first time I came to the property that now holds the space for these puppies, it was because another three puppies where just been born, under very hard circumstances. I couldn't turn my back, I went into the property, and I put it them in a safe place. Now they are big, adopted and gave the space for the next round: 5 puppies who will be given in adoption. The goal is to make them get used to dog food, I can see the mama already tired of breastfeeding
Now that Mama gave birth, more food will be needed
Ugly, Ashna and Mama are eating like there's no tomorrow 😮💨
Could you imagine the frustration that comes with walking out off your front door and finding a dead dog, when the rest of the week you hustle to protect them?
Well that happened to me and other people several years ago, when the local municipality killed hundreds of them, and pile them up in the main street, becoming the first dog holocaust of Lake Atitlan. I hope this time, history does not repeat again.

Con la ayuda de esta maquina, pondremos a prueba la limpieza de la calle principal de San Marcos La Laguna.
The dogs are getting fed but now they need to be identified, because of control reassons. For that matter, collars will be needed in order to know which dogs are being fed on a daily basis and eventually take them to a more competente veterinarian for further evaluations.
We are happy to announce the successful Dognation that is now feeding 10 dogs on a regular basis. This is just the start...

The About Us looks decent enough to me. From what I understand, there is a "Donate" button still missing to be implemented, but apart from that, I would say is ready to be used.
A través de nuestro programa de apadrinamiento, promoveremos el correcto cuidado y protección de los perros en el municipio de San Marcos la laguna. Esto con la intención de no albergar a los perros, sino más bien de concientizar a la población y encontrar una solución a la problemática desde la población.

How far along is the landingpage to send to Franz?
There seems to be no stop to this problem, on a daily basis new puppies are found.
They are very very new born and I dont know if it would be wise to move them, but the place is very nasty. If someone has any advice of what is best to do please let me know. I am hoping the momy is looking for food and wondering if it would be a good idea to leave some dog food there for her and check on them later. They are by the pipes going to the lake next to the nature reserve in San Marcos.
Thank you, Whith your help they can find a house and food.
Gracias a tu apoyo, los cachorros ahora se encuentran bajo la protección de un techo, el cual estará protegiéndoles durante la temporada de lluvia.
Bartolo, el guardián del castillo, rescató tres cachorros de morir; nacieron bajo la lluvia y en la calle, frente a la propiedad de la cual él es jardinero. Buscaron refugio y lo encontraron en su jardín.
Momentáneamente viven en una caja de cartón, la que les sirve para mantenerse juntos y preservar el calor que necesitarán durante la noche. Pero la caja está húmeda y ya no aguanta más, por lo que la prioridad está en conseguirles un techo adecuado. Afortunadamente, la madre y el padre de los cachorros también están, y son ellos los que necesitan alimentarse diariamente.
Con tu aporte, los cachorros recibirán una casa apropiada para ellos, la madre y el padre recibirán comida diaria.
Bartolo no se puede hacer cargo de los costos, tiene sus propios cachorros que alimentar.

Open Institute Fundraising Video Script:
[Delta D sitting in a spot by the lake]
I’m here in beautiful Lake Aititlan, Guatemala and am excited to share about our new platform - Open Institute.
OI makes it easier for projects to receive funding.
[Show clips of working with non-profit - Utz Corazon & add logo/image SM Covid-response team]
OI is a 501(c) non-profit platform that helps to facilitate community financing and coordinate humanitarian projects. Using our website, we have been able to process over $30,000 in funding for education, food and medical supplies.
Now, we began development on an open-sourced mobile app and new social platform.
[Hold the phone up to the camera]
[show screens within app]
[Reasons it is useful:]
- Easy access to fundraising w/ free donation button [no-fees]
- Project internal chat/communication [keep it all in one place]
- Separation between personal & project communication
- To-do Management [with alerts]
- Expense + income tracking
- Censorship-free
[Back to D]
With the app, fundraising/donating will be more accessible to an ever wider audience. In order to make this happen, additional funding is needed to finish the app development, before it’s able to launch.
Within the next couples months, with your donations, we will launch the app!
If you want to volunteer or sponsor OI, please go to the Open Institute Fundraising page, notice the Donate button on your upper right, and contact us tab, if you want to get involved.

I will just need a brief description of what the task is, you'd like me to start with.
I know we discussed writing copy for the 'thank you' email to go out to all former donors, explaining how Open Institute is evolving, and requesting donations to continue development on the mobile app.
I can start working on a rough draft later this afternoon.

As part of our efforts to give back to those most in need in San Marcos La Laguna, 30 families were preselected to receive a care package to include:
🔸️beans 10lbs
🔸️corn 50 lbs
🔸️sugar 5lbs
👟👟👟In addition, as part of our shoe program in collaboration with Joyce Maynard hundreds of shoes were donated. Thank you also to Fungi Academy for your shoe donation.
There is something special to see the gratitude of children as they receive a new pair of shoes. One would imagine there would be some chaos but each child was happy with their choices and equally happy to share these treasures with the other children.
🙏Thank you to all our donors who continue to contribute so that we may continue our efforts to provide for those most in need🙏
You are much appreciated.
