The Ixtatán Foundation funds the Asociación INHAT. The Asociación INHAT generates and runs the Seeds of Knowledge (Yinhatil Nab’en) High School and other community-based projects; including an organic farm, a computer academy, a community water filter project, and a brick-making project. The Ixtatán Foundation initiated these projects but the Asociación Inhat oversees their progress.
The goal is that by 2020, 20 years after it began, the Asociación INHAT will become self-sustaining and have the capability of raising its own funds and manage its various projects without being dependent on the Ixtatán Foundation. By handing over the work into the hands of locals in San Mateo Ixtatán, we can ensure that our work becomes self-sustaining and truly community-based.

“The documentary shows me candidly as no one has. Eduardo Montes-Bradley brought an intimacy to the screen that surprised even me.” Julian Bond
An enlightening portrait of the African American social activist Julian Bond, who in this film traces his roots back to slavery. A leader in the Civil Rights Movement, Julian Bond was among the founders of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), and a legislator in Georgia for twenty years. Now in his seventies, Julian recalls what it was like to grow up in the segregated south. An erudite, well-spoken man, we visit his classroom at the University of Virginia where Julian shares with a new generation the turbulent years of the Civil Rights Movement. Julian Bond’s recollections take us through decades of American history, as society was evolving to allow more opportunity to African Americans.
