Today was the last day. Andrew and I gave a presentation of Curamericas Global to our supervisor again and he gave us some final notes on speaking skills and presentation formatting. We also took a self-evaluation form for our work during the experience.
Here’s Andrew leaving the office for the last time 🙁
Today Andrew and I finished the staging process of the app for Curamericas Global. We found some bugs but overall I would say it’s a successful start. We also wrote thank you cards for the donors of the company.
Here’s a little sneak peak at the app:
Hey,
We got a lot of stuff done Today (Actually yesterday by the time I’m posting this). We worked on developing an app to help healthcare workers track data about mothers in their communities and it was pretty difficult. We also sent letters out to donors about a fundraising event coming up. Finally, when we left we took the recycling from the office to a recycling center and there was so much (pictured above).
Overall pretty successful

Today Andrew and I started working on an app for Curamericas Global. We have to create forms for frontline health workers to understand how to collect data quickly and correctly.
Today we just stayed at home and worked on fundraising proposals. I proposed having an international movie night where we hold a movie night at a local park and charge people 10$ for an admission ticket. All funds would go to Curamericas Global. Another idea was to have an art exhibit show with the Diamante Art and Cultural Center in Raleigh and charge people 10$ per show. The funds would be distributed among Curamericas Global and the Diamante Art and Cultural Center.
Hey,
Today we have a half-day at work, and we had to start at 8am (Which is early for me). We are the only ones in the office right now and it’s pretty quiet. Also, our email was not a success because we cant request financial contributions in a school email, so back to the drawing board :’/
Hopefully a more positive update in the future

Hey!
Today we are working from home because no one is in the office. Our goal today is to find a way to raise money for Curamericas mission, and we are planning to send an email out with a link to donate. I’ve attached the link if you’d like to donate through here, but a whole school email should be coming out soon 🙂

Today we went in and, as Christian said, we did a lot of scanning. We also checked in with Mr. Herrera and talked about our plan for the next week. I spent a lot of time after the WEP today working on my policy brief – basically a paper to educate people on a specific topic. I spoke about the Guatemalan Diaspora and researched the ways that Curamericas could help immigrants from the countries they are stationed in. I found some crazy statistics about remittals impacts on Guatemala’s economy and local communities, something that sounds super specific because it is, but also something that definitely interested me and gave me a new perspective on immigration policies and the impact deportations and low pay has on not only working class immigrants, but on the stability of their home country as well.
If your interested in the topic I’ve attached my research – but don’t be shocked if you find it a little boring.
Today me and Andrew finished scanning mail and confidential files. We had a proper orientation to talk about business policies and what a business has to go through in order to follow the law of the land.
Here’s a photo of Andrew scanning files:
I also tried to use the office computer one last time to upload files to a networking folder, but it wanted to be annoying and starting updating. This update took two hours… and once it finished the wifi router basically blew up.
Here’s a picture of the computer:
Today me and Andrew gave our presentations on Curamericas Global to the director of the company. He gave us insightful feedback and asked us to give the presentation again at the end of the two weeks, Once we finished that, me and Andrew brainstormed a few ideas to create fundraisers for the company and proposed four ideas: An international movie night, an art exhibit showing, a fundraising “walk,” or an app to showcase the greatness of Curamericas Global. For the next few days, we plan to create our plans into fruition.
Here’s a photo of a policy brief I finished:
