The
Integral Heart Family
Our three main programs;
Critical-Thinking,
Sponsorship, and
Nutrition
are designed to break the
cycles of poverty of
those who are
currently
living in some of the
poorest neighborhoods and
worst conditions in
Central America at our
school, La Academia, in
Guatemala.
The Integral Heart Family
is a non-profit
corporation organized
and operated
exclusively for
charitable purposes. We
are empowering potential
with your
support and investment. Read

Luke
Armstrong -
Outreach Director
Luke Maguire Armstrong is
an author and
humanitarian. He was one
of the first people Mick
and Debora met when they
moved to Guatemala in
2009. At the time, he was
director of the
non-profit where Mick and
Debora first volunteered.
Together they worked on
the implementation of
educational programming
and solar empowerment
projects there.
Luke
has been supporter of
Integral Heart since its
founding in 2011. He is a
volunteer teacher of
writing, music,
meditation, and yoga for
our kids. In 2015, he
joined Integral Heart
formally as the outreach
director. He spends a
portion of each year
conducting events to
advocate for Integral
Heart’s work. Follow

Marisol
Hernandez -
School Director (Guatemalan)
Marisol, seen here
with her own family, is
our Community Liaison.
She works with our
families in Jocotenango,
San Mateo, Panorama and
the other areas around
Antigua where
we have been working
since 2010.
Our sponsored children
and their families
receive regular visits
from Marisol who then
reports back to the
founders on the progress
and needs of our
sponsored families. Marisol's
primary role is to help
us bridge the cultural
gap between our desire to
promote education in the
children and the fact
that most of the parents
still value an eight
year-old who can work to
one who is going to
school.
