Ventanas Abiertas, or Open Windows, is an after-school learning center located in the impoverished community of San Miguel Dueñas, Guatemala. Serving 1000 children monthly, the center offers an extensive library and Internet connected computer classroom, neither of which are available at the four local schools.
With the need for many children to work to help increase meager incomes, only half the children attend regular school. The center strives to give all the children of the community the opportunity to receive a full education.

Pte 14808 Joshua Haddon Fenton
01.05.18 Cheltenham
(Stretcher Bearer, 'B' Section) 15th Field Ambulance, Australian Army Medical Corps, AIF
Enlisted 21st June 1916, at the age of 24. His previous occupation was Librarian.
He joined 15th Field Ambulance in France in February 1917.
While serving in France, he was wounded in action on 7th May 1917, but was obviously not seriously hurt because he was back with his unit 12 days later.
On the 21st September, Private Fenton was more seriously hurt as a result of gun shot wounds to his right arm and shoulder. Sent back to the UK, where he was admitted to Bevan Military hospital, Sandgate. This seems to have been a convalescent hospital.
He returned to his unit in France on the 22nd February 1918.
On the 17th April 1918 he was severely gassed while in action ---> 14th Casualty Clearing Station --> (18th April) 11th Stationary Hospital --> (21st April) HS Grantully Castle --> and was once more back in the UK on 22nd April at St John's Hospital, Cheltenham (2nd Southern General Hospital, Bristol).
He died 9 days later and was buried on the 4th May.
Pte Fenton was given a full military funeral with a firing party, band and bugler present, along with a company of the Gloucester Volunteer Regiment. The coffin was draped with the Australian flag. 200 soldiers (all hospital patients), 20 members of the Red Cross Society and 20 members of the St. John's Ambulance Brigade followed the coffin to the cemetery.
An oak cross was later set at the head of the grave.

On the 17th April the 15th Field Ambulance unit diary records that Villars-Bretonneux was shelled with gas from 4am until noon and it causing heavy casualties. The first 100 cases were more severe than laters ones, though all showed typical symptoms of Mustard Gas poisoning.
From the 53rd Battalion's unit diary ... "in all about 8,000 shells including Yellow, Blue and Green cross, of calibre 77mm to 8 inch were used by the enemy in this intense bombardment. The wind was very favourable to the enemy."

Pte 5766 Andrew Williams Stevens
19.11.17 Cheltenham
7th Battalion, Australian Infantry, AIF
(Age 24)
"Beloved husband of Elizabeth Stevens and loving father of Jack"
Enlisted 7th Battalion 18th Reinforcements on 6th March 1916.
Went overseas 15th October 1916
Wounded: 25th February 1917 (Gunshot wound - thigh and buttock) --- HS Formosa from Havre 1st March ---> 1st London General Hospital --> Perham Downs
Returned to France 23rd July
Sick 24th July ---> returned to unit 20th August
(Belgium) Wounded 26th October (GSW left elbow) --> 11th Canadian FA --> 9th General Hospital (Rouen) 28th October --> HS Formosa from Havre 2nd November --> Cheltenham (probably Racecourse Hospital).
Obviously Pte Stevens was well enough by 18th November, because he and a friend had tea near the Post Office on The Promenade where they met up with some other friends. They had to be back by 4 o'clock and did check back in at the hospital.
Then they decided to ignore the regulations and literally 'go over the wall' to meet up with their friends again. When climbing over the wall, Stevens landed on the other side without incident. Unfortunately, his friend fell off the wall on to him as he stood below. Pte Stevens apparently hit his head and as a consequence suffered a fractured skull. They managed to return to the hospital but Stevens died the following morning. The inquest returned a verdict of Accidental Death.
The funeral took place on 23rd November.

Sick (19th May) --> 30th General Hospital --> Austalian Vet Hospital (28th May)

Mustard Gas
"a particularly deadly and dehabilitating poison, but its real danger when it was first used in WW1 ... was the fact that it could penetrate all protective materials and masks ... available at the time."
"The effects of mustard gas exposure include the reddening and blistering of skin, and, if inhaled, will also cause blistering to the lining of the lungs, causing chronic impairment, or at worst, death. Exposure to high concentrations will attack the corneas of the eyes, eventually rendering the victim blind."
It was "a particularly nasty poison, resulting in a painful and often slow death".

Bernard "Bernie" Sanders (born September 8, 1941) is the junior United States Senator from Vermont.
Sanders is the longest-serving independent in U.S. congressional history. A self-described democratic socialist, he favors policies similar to those of social democratic parties in Europe, particularly those instituted by the Nordic countries. He caucuses with the Democratic Party and has been the ranking minority member on the Senate Budget Committee since January 2015.
Born in Brooklyn, New York, Sanders attended Brooklyn College before transferring to and graduating from the University of Chicago. While a student, he was a member of the Young People's Socialist League and active in the Civil Rights Movement as a protest organizer for the Congress of Racial Equality and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. In 1963, he participated in the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.
Sanders settled in Vermont in 1968, and ran unsuccessfully for Governor and U.S. Senator in the early to mid-1970s as a member of the Liberty Union Party. As an independent, Sanders was elected mayor of Burlington, Vermont's most populous city, in 1981. He was reelected to three more two-year mayoral terms before being elected to represent Vermont's at-large congressional district in the United States House of Representatives in 1990. He served as a congressman for 16 years before being elected to succeed the retiring Republican-turned-independent Jim Jeffords in the U.S. Senate in 2006. In 2012, he was reelected by a large margin, capturing almost 71% of the popular vote.
Since his election to the Senate, Sanders has emerged as a leading progressive voice on issues such as income inequality, universal healthcare, parental leave, climate change, LGBT rights, and campaign finance reform. He rose to national prominence on the heels of his 2010 filibuster of the proposed extension of the Bush-era tax rates for the wealthy. Sanders is also outspoken on civil rights and civil liberties, and has been particularly critical of mass surveillance policies such as the USA PATRIOT Act, as well as racial discrimination in the criminal justice system. He has long been critical of U.S. foreign policy, and was an early and outspoken opponent of the Iraq War.
Sanders is a candidate for the Democratic Party's nomination for President in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
