Final Report
By Kay Sweeney | Managing Director
With regret we have decided to deactivate this project. We have not been receiving enough donations to keep the project running. Because of the donations we received while it was active, we were able to fund a half time six month internship for Mishel Cutzal. You read her reports on the benefit that she received from the internship.
There is a small amount of money left in this Fund and it will be put into our regular scholarship program. If you would like to continue supporting young Guatemalan women as they seek to better their lives, you can switch your support to our scholarship program that is also featured on Global Giving.
Again-thank you for your support.

For me, this position with the Kateri Tekakwitha Fund has been a good experience. I have learned many things that I did not know before. This experience has been very useful to me. It will make it easier for me to secure a job. In Guatemala, it is always necessary to arrive with experience when you apply for a job opportunity.
In the office of the Fund I have received various knowledge as I was able to help the bookkeeper to realize her activities. For a bookkeeper, it is essential to know diffferent methods of keeping the accounts of an institution. A bookkeeper also needs to know how to file adequately the documents that come in.
The course that the Fund provided for me was very useful. It was very practical and I have applied it to various activities. I also can add this workshop to my resume.
During my work experience in the Kateri Tekakwitha Fund, I realized the following activities for the benefit of the office.
- Filing- Organized all the files and put the documents in order under the direction of Juana Cun, the Bookkeeper.
- Computer- Checked the email daily and advised the office staff that they had mail. Published birthday greetings on the Fund's Facebook page for the scholarship participants and staff.
- Photos- Organized annual photos of the scholarship young women.
- Particimetro- In colaboration with the scholarship coordinator used the skills from the workshop to make the scholarship meeting more dynamic.
I am thankful to the Kateri Fund and to you the donors for the opportunity you give me to work in the Kateri office and have a half year of experience that will be a benefit to my work life.

Mishel Cutzal, Intern Office Assistant
I am very happy that the Fund has been able to extend my work experience to a complete six months because you received additional funding. I feel very good working in the Fund. I always do the best I can to accept and complete my responsibilities and help my workmates in every way possible.
I thank you for letting me continue for three more months to gain more work experience and learn from the Fund staff. They always explain to me how to do things when I don't know how to do them.
I feel very content doing my work in the Fund and I thank you for giving me the opportunity to learn
Attentively,
Mishel Cutzal
