videos sent to their cell phone. In addition to these two great benefits for the life of a person, those who acquire their certificate of the approved courses, may begin their studies to attend primary and secondary school.
The latter was raised and authorized within the project ‘’educando mi país’’, since the studies carried out by Unesco indicate that Guatemala is one of the countries with the highest rate in Latin America of dropping secondary education with 52.2%. So the intention is to capture the attention of adolescents and young people who have not started the secondary level or abandoned by x or y reason, we also want to encourage adults who, at the time, did not have the opportunity to study primary and therefore the average level or left their training up to sixth grade.
It is important to mention that due to the lack of education for the children of yesterday and today, it brings poverty, because according to the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), people with a low economic level reach 30.7. % in Latin America, equivalent to 186 million individuals.
For this reason, it is one of the challenges that we want to overcome
“THE BEGINNING BASIC MUST BE HAVING A EDUCATED COUNTRY,
with ‘’educando mi país’’, because we know that if a person learns to read, write, starts primary school and continues with the intermediate level, they can seek to improve, they will not be satisfied with what who knows, this same hunger to learn and grow, will take you to look for employment places that will help your daily life and your economic level.
SINCE, WITHOUT A DOUBT SOME, THE EDUCATION IS THE PRINCIPLE OF ALL”. Kurt Bendfeldt, President of ‘’educando mi país’’
‘’Educando mi país’’ starts with a strategic alliance, which is already signed with the leading telecommunications company Tigo, with whom the search for a change in the education of the country was achieved. It is also important to mention creative solutions company that will develop the videos that will be specialized and certified by the Ministry of Education, which will be sent free of charge to lots of 10 thousand people from different communities, municipalities and departments of Guatemala with zero cost in online browsing, this means that users will not have any consumption of their mobile data. In addition, we have more than 20 companies that are already contributing as commercial partners. the feeding of information through Creative Solutions and the anchoring of the videos that Tigo will make at your reception.
HOW WILL THE EDUCATING BE CARRIED
MY COUNTRY PLATFORM OUT? The purpose of the same is to reach 10 thousand people who, through an identification in the databases of the aforementioned telecommunications company, we can know the need according to their customs in the use of their cell phone, for example, when they use their device only to make and receive calls. Thanks to the database, we will have the possibility to know the name of the department with which it will be possible to start, which will be where there is more need. The control of the students will be technological, because online you can see how many are being educated per second, likewise, the progress of each user through an intelligent platform that will allow the progress that you have in your methodology.
The levels of studies in ‘’educando mi país’’, are divided into three: first, learn to read and write from scratch; second, to attend primary school in 15 months and third, to study the average level with the same period as the previous one. Each user can graduate online up to secondary level. There will also be methods where specialized courses for university students will be given, but these will cost approximately Q40.00 so that they can obtain a diploma. At the moment the student completes his studies in Educando mi País, he will obtain a diploma. For the time being, Sholben Media is in negotiations with the municipalities so that these documents will be delivered, if this were not done, it would be carried out through events with Conalfa and its allies in each department of Guatemala.

also important to mention the drop in the rate of violence when a country has a better education. By adding to education, we also add culture, work, honesty, responsibility and many more values that make the human being do not covet what the other has to the point of violence against others in order to steal their belongings, from clothes, money, watches, cell phones, even vehicles. Work is still ongoing on the sending and receiving platform, but this is being adjusted according to each one of the needs that are presented.
MARKETING OF EDUCATING MY COUNTRY
The commercialization plan or the acquisition of resources has already started. We direct it towards international organizations. The main strategy is the elimination of illiteracy in Guatemala, from this point the companies make the decision and define what the support will be like within this project that will improve the lives of our fellow citizens.

In Guatemala, according to indicators of the National Literacy Committee (CONALFA), at least one million people above 15 years of age, can not read or write. We believe that this statistic could exceed 3.5 million inhabitants today. For this reason, Sholben Media has developed a platform through a strategic alliance with the telecommunications company Tigo and Soluciones Creativas, where Guatemalans with functional illiteracy can learn to read and write through their cell phones, showing videos. The intention is that this platform full of technology allows us to reach lots of 10 thousand people per community with this content.

PAIS
As believing companies that education is the pillar of any country, we have taken the task of generating and facilitating our fellow citizens, to have access to this educational training in a fun, healthy and entertaining way that not only educates them, but also certifies them through diplomas that will help them grow their jobs, improve their income and, therefore, their quality of life. We believe that, with the support of international organizations, who will contribute directly to education with a minimum of two years, we will be able to generate multiple alliances to reach the most needed population. Our mission is: to educate 120 thousand people in a year, that education in the country is phone learning and that we can all be trained and educated through digital platforms.
Students will be subscribed to a special database. Every day a text message will be sent to them, which will have a link that will allow them to access a navigation page with zero cost and it will be there, where the student will receive their corresponding classes. The courses will be taught through videos of up to 9MB in weight, the important thing is that the student can see it online, without the need to spend their mobile data. It is significant to note that each student will have the opportunity to see the audiovisual material only twice in a 24-hour period. It is worth mentioning that each user will have the option to choose the schedule that best suits them to receive their daily course and a very important point is that every two days students will receive a text message reminding them of their classes. .

Educando mi pais In our life we have to look for what motivates us, moves us, stimulates us, generates us, floods us with situations that move us and move us. A few years ago traveling through the interior of the country I found a family with very few resources, the main problem was an alcoholic father, the second, a mother with many children and the third was a terrible family malnutrition. At that time, I did not see how to help immediately, but life gives us the opportunity to have what we need to be able to survive in a jungle of competition, incompetence, vanity, selfishness and other ingredients, which only diminish us and not They give us a reason. Well that reason was given and was to think that education is the beginning of everything. Today we ask for a less violent country, today we ask that levels of corruption go down, we ask for clean streets, we ask that governments do their work, but what do we do for the country. We criticize, but we do not build, so I took this very seriously and prepared to get into debt, generating a platform through
credit that would allow me to reach thousands of people and have free education. It is unthinkable that millions of budgets are disbursed in things that do not give us results as a country, it is incredible that the country has talents in many areas and because of lack of resources they can not excel, this is also education. Eight years have elapsed since that trip, today Educando mi PaĂs is a reality that is about to emerge, we have already started the advertising campaign inviting all those who want to add, since only we as a company will not succeed, since the investment exceeds our capacity, although today we have the platform and alliances covered to start, at least for the first 6 months. Educating my country, maybe it will become the best educational project, since it has no political bias or is politicized, it does not have a foundation to receive donations, but it is a company, which will pay the taxes of those contributions. This project can arrive in seconds to identify where people need to learn, we can see, how many people in the same minute are being educated.
