Governance and History

           
                       

 

In August of 2002 Calacirya Foundation was formed under the National Heritage Foundation (NHF). In 2007, the Calacirya Foundation incorporated in the state of Calafornia and recieved 501(c)3 nonprofit status.

 
 
                       
       
Because Calacirya Foundation is small, all monies raised are highly valued, and funds are distributed solely by the founders.  This insures proper usage of funding and results in greater positive outcomes.  In addition to Calacirya Foundation's own projects, we also support local organizations with complementary missions in order to better serve communities.
 
                       
   

Founders

             
                       
      Emily Webb holds a B.S. in Equestrian Studies with an emphasis on teaching and training.  After graduating at the top of her class, she continued to explore her love for teaching students and training horses - as well as traveling and learning about other cultures.  She is the co-founder of Calacirya Foundation, a 501(c)3 U.S. non-profit organization, working with the indigenous peoples of Guatemala.  Ms. Webb is the owner of a successful small business in the U.S. and has worked and traveled extensively in Latin America.  There, she discovered a way to draw upon her eclectic experiences, putting them to use to enrich the lives of the local people.  Emily has been living in Guatemala since January 2001.      
                       
      Christian Nix received a B.A. in English Literature from the University of Virginia.  He is a one time professor of English and History at Institute Montana, Zugerberg, Switzerland, and an independent professor of Spanish and English in San Marcos La Laguna, Guatemala.  Since co-founding Calacirya Foundation in 2002 - a 501(c)3 US non-profit organization - the intensity of his work has increased many fold.  Mr. Nix’s strength lies in his ability to reach a diverse cross section of humanity – rich, poor, educated, uneducated, worldly and innocent.  Christian has been involved in youth development and community activities in Guatemala, where he has resided since March 1999.
