Indigenous Health Solutions is a trans-disciplinary collective of pioneers driven by a passion for service to the Earth, and the poorest and most remote communities on it. Through the lens of planetary health, where shifts in natural systems are prioritized in examination of human health, experts in conservation, health, anthropology, and business come together with those in need to craft and implement culturally informed and community led solutions for development. Our programs are built upon the foundational principle that development must be indigenous, that is, planned in partnership with those in need and rooted in the place of delivery, reflecting practical awareness of the interconnection between health, conservation, livelihood, and education.

SafeArt is a community-based organization that engages creativity and the expressive arts as tools to support mental health and overall well-being. We offer residencies, workshops, and classes in the expressive arts for children, teens, and adults as well as ongoing focus groups. Over the years, we have worked with trauma survivors to help them engage with and transform emotional, mental, and physical injuries of all kinds. We define trauma as any held injury in body, mind, and soul. As the organization has matured, we have witnessed the healing power of creative expression as beneficial for all, and have added offerings to the broader community in addition to our trauma-focused programs. All of our programming continues to be inclusive of everyone and trauma-informed. We believe that we are all shaped by our experiences, and encourage participants to dive into the process of expressing themselves creatively without judgement or fear. Together, we can nourish and strengthen our minds, our families, and our communities - creating a safe space for all.

"FOR I KNOW THE PLANS I HAVE FOR YOU," declares the Lord "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future" Jeremiah 29:11 Training For Christ Ministry (TFC) is committed to providing vocational, educational and spiritual mentoring for Guatemalan impoverished youth, regardless of their religion or gender. Our scholarship vocational training provides an opportunity for Guatemalan youth, that reside in remote underserved villages/hamlets, to learn a trade and thereby be a financially contributing member of their family and community. Training For Christ partners with local Christian Pastors (international churches located in students village) who provide each student with weekly spiritual mentoring and bible study. It is our hope and prayer that each student recognizes the gift God has given them and that each student develops a relationship with the Lord and become more Christ like in their earthly relationships and walk. Our students live in a Drug Cartel venue where there is no future hope or dreams other than drug trafficking, prostitution, human trafficking and gangs. In a nut shell, TFC provides an economic and spiritual alternative to illegal criminal activity that has had such a devastating impact on the poor and uneducated youth in Guatemala. Most families, if they can find work, earn less than 4 dollars a day...Travel cost to school city center costs $4.32 a day for each student - 3 buses each way. Is it no wonder that education beyond 5th grade is unobtainable for the impoverished youth in remote village areas far from city centers. Guatemala does have first rate private vocational schools located in city centers. However transportation is unaffordable and schools are usually 1 1/2 hours away. Tuition, uniforms, tools and supplies prevent any thought of obtaining a vocational education, even if transportation cost wasn't an issue. TFC makes it possible in an otherwise impossible situation. Our average program cost per child is approximately $1,800. Of this amount half the cost is for transportation. Course usually are two weekend days per week - auto mechanic is two years full time and cost $3,000 over two years. Courses offered range from sewing, cooking, baking, computer/phone repair, welding, auto mechanic, motorcycle repair, auto body shop, hair dressing, etc. Our students leave home at 5 AM and return at 7:30 PM...they are devoted and steadfast in their desire to learn. With the Lords continued blessings TFC will grow its list of graduates. It is our calling to be as flexible as one can be in meeting each students individual needs and that of their Family. Often, when a child goes to school it reduces the total family income, and in some cases prevents a child from attending school. TFC will supplement the family income when a child is attending school. TFC plans to build an all purpose building in the youths home village to provide family support, be it a nursery, parenting class, adult vocational training, etc. With God's blessings TFC will be successful with all the praise to the Lord. TFC is just one of many of the Lord's tools for the kingdom of God.

The Arc/k Project is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization with a mission to digitally archive that which is too valuable, too important, and too unique to be lost or forgotten. We envision the creation of a sustainable archival quality process to counter the threats and destruction of treasured objects and locations due to war, iconoclastic movements, poverty, neglect, climate change and even vandalism as some conspire to rob humanity of its collective culture as well as memory. To preserve our global heritage, we seek to capture and archive culturally and historically significant objects and locations via emerging modern digital formats including 3D imaging as well as the immersive technologies of augmented and virtual realities. With a goal to achieve the highest archival quality accuracy and authenticity, we are promoting the science of photogrammetry to populate the data for our digital formats. We are now looking to collaborate with like-minded individuals, museums, organizations and academic institutions to create case studies using the photogrammetry process to digitally archive and preserve objects and locations via grants or volunteer work. Also here is Arc/k's mission statement as it's laid out in our Articles of Incorporation -- "The specific purpose of this corporation shall be to preserve cultural assets across geopolitical regions, religions, races, and political borders, and to carry on other charitable activities associated with this purpose as allowed by law."
