They took care of the student&#8217;s education and mental health at the same time. They achieved this with the support of Indigo, our emotional intelligence program. Thanks to Indigo, we are aware of our emotions and have learned to validate our feelings. That&#8217;s what our teachers did and I admire them for doing that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The teachers were able to stay motivated due to the communication and support between them and the school authorities. Teamwork was the key to overcoming that hard season of extended work days. They first had to educate themselves in new technologies and then teach them to the students so that they could learn.<\/span><\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11717\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mesofoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Maestros-dando-clases-en-linea-23-300x200.jpg\" alt=\" Teacher working out\" width=\"1086\" height=\"724\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mesofoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Maestros-dando-clases-en-linea-23-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mesofoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Maestros-dando-clases-en-linea-23-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.mesofoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Maestros-dando-clases-en-linea-23-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mesofoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Maestros-dando-clases-en-linea-23-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.mesofoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Maestros-dando-clases-en-linea-23-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.mesofoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Maestros-dando-clases-en-linea-23-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.mesofoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Maestros-dando-clases-en-linea-23-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1086px) 100vw, 1086px\" \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; color: #000000;\"><b id=\"readytoreturn\">Ready to Return<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Following government instructions, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mesofoundation.org\/back-to-school-2022\/\">classes at the school began in June, in a hybrid system<\/a>.

Little by little, those empty spaces were filled with the joy of the kids who were so happy to see each other again. One thing became evident almost immediately: the social space provided by the school was much needed. They need it to develop their social skills and foster friendships.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was clear that the priority was to get back to studying, but the teachers had to make room for communication between students, who longed to catch up with their friends. \u201cHow have you been?\u201d, \u201dHow are your parents?\u201d, \u201dYou look different!\u201d, and \u201cHow much you&#8217;ve grown!\u201d These were just some of the phrases that were heard frequently in this reunion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Parallel to these spontaneous moments of catchup amongst students, Meso also organized educational and recreational activities to promote coexistence among students. These included the Spelling Bee, the Meso&#8217;s Got Talent contest, and the Summer Day summer activity. All activities were carried out taking into account the health recommendations and precautions issued by the Guatemalan Government.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; color: #000000;\"><b id=\"somethingunexpected\">Something Unexpected<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When everything seemed to be getting better and there was already a sense of stability, the unimaginable happened. Our founder, the mastermind behind the Meso Foundation and the most important pillar of Colegio Mesoamericano, Engineer Julio Ren\u00e9 Salazar Mor\u00e1n, became seriously ill and passed away on Tuesday, October 11, 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It has been a difficult reality to accept. However, his knowledge, kindness, and passion for helping others are still present. Miss Ingrid assures that &#8220;The legacy continues, our commitment to his vision for the school remains strong and we will work to ensure that it is not lost&#8221;. It is a fact that both teachers, as well as collaborators of the Meso Foundation and friends, will keep Don Julio&#8217;s mission alive: to fight for a happier, healthier, and more prosperous Guatemala.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11719\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mesofoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Save-the-soil-114-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"Man showing children soil\" width=\"1109\" height=\"1664\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mesofoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Save-the-soil-114-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.mesofoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Save-the-soil-114-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.mesofoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Save-the-soil-114-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mesofoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Save-the-soil-114-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.mesofoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Save-the-soil-114-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/www.mesofoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Save-the-soil-114-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.mesofoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Save-the-soil-114-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1109px) 100vw, 1109px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Renuevo (Renew) Concert was dedicated to Mr. Julio Salazar.

Miss Ingrid highlights that &#8220;This is not something new but it is something we need to reinforce. The pandemic taught us that we must do things differently and one way is to know each of our students and teach them according to their levels. There can be no &#8220;one size fits all&#8221; in education. There are sizes XS, S, M, L, XL, and XXL and we cannot force our kids. As teachers, we must re-educate ourselves and address this need\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Meso English Academy provided vital support so that the students did not fall behind in their English learning. The students who wish to go to Snow College must take the TOEFL and although this year no one was sent due to the pandemic, the children are motivated to continue learning to achieve this goal in 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n<style> p {text-align: justify !important;} <\/style>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c87f74e blogSideIndex e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"c87f74e\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1571f25 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1571f25\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Intro<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1078319 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1078319\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><a href=\"#readytoreturn\">Ready to Return<\/a><\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1f77483 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1f77483\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><a href=\"#somethingunexpected\">Something Unexpected <\/a><\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3ff04c6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3ff04c6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><a href=\"#graduations\">Graduations<\/a><\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-58d520f elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"58d520f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><a href=\"#lookingahead\">Looking Ahead to 2023<\/a><\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ce792c7 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"ce792c7\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-core-v316-plus=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1cb9122 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"1cb9122\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\nbody[data-ext-responsive=\"true\"].single-post .container-wrap.no-sidebar .post-area {\nmax-width: 1440px !important;\n}\n#blogMainContent > .e-con-inner{\n\tdisplay: grid;\n\tgrid-template-columns: 2fr 10fr 2fr;\n}\n#blogMainContent > .blogSharethrough,  .blogSideIndex {\n    position: sticky;\n    top: 0; \n    z-index: 10;\n}\n.e-con {\n    --container-max-width: 1440px;\n}\n@media (max-width: 768px) { \n    #blogMainContent > .e-con-inner {\n\tdisplay: flex;\n\tflex-direction: column-reverse;\n }\n}\n<\/style>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2022 school year comes to a close and will go down in the history of Meso as a year of transcendental changes.
