Completed Projects
Below are some of the projects completed by CCI and our partners recently. We thank God for the donors, workers, and everyone else responsible for making these projects come to fruition!
Guatemala - Computer Equipment
New computers at Horeb School have been purchased to replace obsolete computers they have been using since the school began in 2006. With more virtual education now being done to mitigate pandemic restrictions, it is vitally important to have updated digital technologies and expand the computer lab. The new computer equipment will better serve the students now and into the future.
Guatemala - Equipment for Physical Education
Due to pandemic-related school closures, children who had to stay home did not get the same physical activity as when they attended classes in person. Now after returning to face-to-face classes, many of the students are out of shape. Horeb school in Guatemala now has new equipment so that the children can become more active. This ensures students can engage in fun activities and sports to improve their overall condition and avoid obesity. Funds have been used to purchase soccer balls, volleyballs, basketballs, track equipment, jump ropes, hula hoops, and other sports gear.
Guatemala - Computers for Online Learning
The Christian Educational Center Mi Especial Tesoro (My Special Treasure) School has started hybrid face-to-face and virtual classes to accommodate students in person and online. Teachers now have computers to connect with children online for these hybrid classes. Six new computers ensure the teachers can connect with the children, as well as prepare class materials and carry out grading for each of the students.
Guatemala - School Roof and Grounds Improvement
A well-maintained school provides children with a safe learning environment and it improves the school’s reputation in the community. Horeb school in Guatemala now has a roof to protect the building from humidity caused by rain. This helps prevent respiratory illness in students and staff. The school courtyard now has new paint. These minor maintenance upgrades keep the building and grounds in good condition and reflect the security that Horeb school offers students.
Guatemala - Covid 19 Prevention
The Guatemalan government now requires that all schools comply with COVID-19 health protocols to protect students and staff. To meet the new biosafety requirements, Horeb school in Guatemala has installed accessories, sanitizers, and disinfectants, including gel dispensers. This will help prevent the spread of infection at the school.
The Dominican Republic - Yard Improvement
Work to build a drainage ditch and pour gravel stones on the front yard of Juan Calvino School has been done to make the area safer and more usable for the children. The front yard and playground no longer consist of dirt, rocks, and flooding whenever it rains. The children now enjoy outdoor activities.
The Dominican Republic - First Aid Room and Library
Nest of Love School has a new Library to provide space for books and students to read. A new First Aid Room is providing treatment for sick and injured students while they wait to be picked up by a parent.

Guatemala - Sound System
Sound equipment is essential for Mi Especial Tesoro to continue important activities, such as teaching its students, hosting parent meetings for information and training, civic and cultural activities, and school ceremonies.

A new sound system allows up to 450 people to gather while also saving money for the school.
Guatemala - Photocopier
