Thanks to the generosity of donors like you, GLXi staff delivered physical libraries — each with at least 85 books — to 52 dedicated teachers across Guatemala. 

For the second year in a row, teachers trained through the Global Learning Exchange Initiative (GLXi)’s Open Books, Open Minds (OBOM) program participated in an evaluation to assess the program’s impact. 

For 2025, we received a record number of teacher training applications. We responded by admitting more teachers than ever before!

Your support helped Global Learning Exchange Initiative (GLXi) provide much-needed school supplies to teachers and students across Guatemala.

Today, Global Learning Exchange Initiative (GLXiⓇ) pays special tribute to an exceptional teacher whose legacy will remain in the memory and hearts of those who had the privilege of knowing him: Third-grade teacher Julio Eduardo Díaz Figueroa.

The 2025 school year presents an opportunity for GLXi to innovate, grow, and face challenges with determination and creativity.

Continuous training not only strengthens teachers’ skills but also enables them to innovate, adapt, and better respond to their students' needs. That is why it is a central tenet of GLXi’s mission in Guatemala.

GLXi held its teacher graduation on Jan. 18, and it was a virtual celebration to remember.

In Guatemala, 60% of entry-level jobs require technological skills. GLXi provides much-needed technology to students and teachers who might otherwise never touch a computer. 

The 2024 IDEL assessment results show us that GLXi’s Open Books, Open Minds curriculum is making a huge impact on reading, across grade levels and throughout multiple regions of Guatemala.
