During his visit to El Salvador, in June, President Barack Obama, Glasswing International and other organizations signed a letter of intent to establish a "shared vision" and a commitment to implement successful and sustainable solutions to address the main challenges that produce violence.

Glasswing International, as a signatory to this document, pledged to intensify its initiatives to improve the quality of life in Central American communities through health and education programs. Programs such as My School, My Space, run by Glasswing International, in El Salvador and Guatemala allowed kids from 7 to 16 years of age to have better equipped classrooms and additional teaching after school hours in a variety of subjects like science, literature, soccer, basket ball, singing and dancing (Glee Club).

"I'm a little nervous, but I'm getting better", says Kevin, a 15 year old kid, who practices singing while his professor (a volunteer) gives him directions on how to perform in front of an audience for the first time. More than 2,000 students in 6 different schools have benefited from this after school program thanks to volunteers who dedicate their free time to strengthening at-risk communities such as Las Palmas. "We have seen an incredible change in the students," says Ken Baker, executive director of Glasswing International. "The extension of school hours, positive role models to imitate and extra attention they receive from volunteers and mentors have made many students stay in school."
