Isa Mundo Foundation is committed to supporting basic primary education in communities by providing school supplies, technological tools and educational books. In addition to these crucial resources, one of of the most important needs in communities, that are sometimes overlooked, are funds to pay teachers.
We are asking all our supporters to donate to Isa Mundo to fund the full-time or part-time salaries of teachers. Teachers in communities we work with are passionate about their work and they serve as tutors, mentors, and role models. Despite the low pay and long hours, they remain dedicated to find new programs and activities to motivate students to reach their full potential.
Please click on the DONATE link on our website and Support a Teacher today.

Isa Mundo Website
The Isa Mundo Foundation website will have a fresh new look in coming months. In late 2011, we finalized a newly designed look and feel and are now in the process of finalizing contents. We will be adding new features such as: news articles and stories relevant to our project themes and focus; promoting ideas for new initiatives and projects; and the launch of Mundopedia.
Mundopedia is a page that will highlight where we have been, why we are there and map our progress to date. It will include vital statistics relevant to our mission such as: literacy rates, education attainment; child and youth homelessness; focus on conservation and sustainability and health issues.
We hope the new website will be more user friendly and contain all the information regarding the foundation and all its past and current projects.
Stay tuned!

Isa Mundo in 2012
Happy New Year!!
Although we were launched in 2006, this is the start of Isa Mundo Foundation's 6th full year in operation. When we reflect back to what we have accomplished together, communities we have visited, projects we have completed, volunteers we have met and partnerships we have formed - it has truly been a great success. We owe it all to friends, families, businesses, communities and other organizations, who believe and support our work.
In 2012, we hope to launch and complete a few projects. Along the way, we will update you on our progress, challenges and hopefully lots of success stories. We are eager to keep expanding our IMEC concept in Peru, begin discussion on a new Social Skills Program under our Children and Youth projects, begin conservation and environmental health projects in Mexico, forge partnerships with new organizations in British Columbia, and continually support our existing projects. It will require a lot of effort to accomplish all these goals but we are looking forward to the challenge.
It will be a very busy 2012 and we are excited to continue Isa Mundo's committment to better the lives of those less fortunate in the world.

Vallarta Nature
Mundoers were able to visit a potential new environmental health projects with the conservation group, Sociedad Ecologica de Occidente (Western Ecological Society) in the Bahia de Banderas area. We were able to meet with Mr. Oscar Aranda, a biologist who founded the organization and has dedicated his research and work to protect marine turtles and mammals and improve the environmental conditions in Mexico. Mr. Aranda was recognized as one of the CNN Heroes for Saving the Planet in 2010.
Isa Mundo will be assessing how we can collaborate with Mr. Aranda to support his present and future conservation projects in Mexico.

Volcanes Primary School Update
Isa Mundo was able to visit the Volcanes Primary School this month and also brought much needed educational supplies to the school. Mundoers were able to assess future needs at the school but also see the great progress since our last visit in April 2011.
The IMEC is now part of the overall Education Project in Volcanes and we hope to continue working in collaboration with the school and Cafe Roma to improve the centre and their project in 2012.
