2024 Cadaniño - Impactando vidas para la eternidad

In Guatemala, countless children face overwhelming challenges—poverty, limited education, crime, and broken families. But at Cadaniño, we're creating a bridge to hope and opportunity through Christ-centered afterschool programs. Our local teachers and youth pastors provide the love, support, and spiritual growth children and their families need to thrive. Through tutoring, mentoring, and technology, we empower students to overcome obstacles, build confidence, and develop critical skills. Our programs focus on breaking the cycle of poverty, strengthening families, and encouraging leadership and service within the community. Join us in making a lasting impact on the lives of vulnerable children. Watch this video to see how Cadaniño is bridging the gap for a brighter future in Guatemala! #Cadaniño #Guatemala #BridgingTheGap #ChildEmpowerment #AfterschoolPrograms #FaithInAction #HopeForChildren #FamilySupport #BreakingPovertyCycle

Dear friends, Thanks to your support, we have made significant progress. On July 20th, less than one month after launching this initiative, we completed the build-out and inaugurated the first Cadanino STEM Lab at the community center in Colonia Santa Fe. We built the worktable for the 3D printer and laser cutter and the shelves for the STEM equipment, and we even had space to place our library in the room. My sister Alison helped me design the STEM banners for the room, and I installed them along with a TV for our classes. I gave the first lesson to the teenagers in the after-school program. I focused on helping them understand the STEM process of Asking what the problem is, imagining a solution, planning and gathering resources, creating a prototype, and then improving it. I demonstrated how we could use the 3D printer to accomplish this. I also showcased the laser engraver we got for the classroom. We discussed how these tools, and the skills they are learning in robotics and programming, have a wide variety of applications, from #D printing houses and chocolate to cutting metal and tile with plasma cutters and water jets. I showed them how I had used 3D printing to improve my NERF guns so I can shoot my sisters better, and they really liked that. We then had the classroom dedication, where we gave thanks to God and shared with the students about each one of you who helped make it possible. Then we closed with a celebration of pizza and ice cream. The students are really excited to take their learning to the next level. Right now, we are waiting for repairs to the roof at the second community center so we can build the STEM learning lab in San Jose Pinula. Once that is done and the rest of the equipment is brought down from the US, we will finish the project. It should be some time at the end of August or early September when it is complete. I will keep you posted on how we progress. Thank you again for your help. You are helping to make a really big difference in the lives of the 250 students who will benefit from this at the Cadanino Community Centers. We couldn’t have done this without your selflessness and generosity, so thank you for helping us make a difference. Alexander Martiny

https://donorbox.org/stem-learning-lab Cadaniño is a non-profit helping at-risk children in Guatemala through after-school programs focusing on nutrition, spiritual growth, and academics, with an emphasis on technology. I've always loved technology. Over the years, I've learned 3D printing, programming, laser engraving, and CNC routing. My parents supported my passion, and I want to do the same for these kids. By setting up STEM labs at Cadaniño community centers, we can provide equipment and training to help hundreds of students explore technology in a fun, supportive environment. Your support is crucial to making this vision a reality. With your tax-deductible donation, we can set up two STEM classrooms, directly impacting the lives of 250 at-risk students in Guatemala. Your contribution can be the catalyst for change in their lives. Please donate and help us make a difference.
