Open Windows Foundation or Ventanas Abiertas is a US-registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization focusing on youth education and programming in San Miguel Dueñas, Guatemala. The center was founded in 2001 by Ericka Kaplan, Jean Uelmen, and Teresa Quiñonez and now serves over 1,600 members of the Dueñas community.
The mission of the foundation is to Open Windows of opportunity for the disadvantaged children of San Miguel Dueñas, through access to a free library, computer center, and educational center.
The Foundation first opened in 2001 with an enrollment of 20 children assembling in a small room. The original 300 books for the center were donated from a library project that had recently closed in Rio Dulce, Guatemala. The Foundation’s primary function was to act as a dynamic library with the aim of getting kids to read for pleasure.
Over the years, Open Windows has continued to accumulate students, books, funds, and other resources through the personal networking of the founders and the community. In 2003, Rotary International donated 10 computers to Open Windows. This donation allowed Open Windows to expand their services to allowing students to use computers for homework and offering computer classes. Open Windows also launched their initial website in 2003 which allowed for greater publicity.

Ignacio "Nacho" Vigalondo (born 6 April 1977 in Cabezón de la Sal, Cantabria, Spain) is a Spanish filmmaker.
In addition to receiving an Academy Award nomination and a Best Short Film Award nomination at the European Film Awards, Vigalondo's 2003 short film 7:35 de la Mañana received the Bronze Moon of Valencia at the Cinema Jove – Valencia International Film Festival and the Prix UIP Drama at the Drama Short Film Festival.
He finished his first full length feature film, Los Cronocrímenes (English title: Timecrimes), in 2007, which he also co-starred in.
Vigalondo revealed on his official blog that his next film would be a Spanish-language alien invasion horror entitled Extraterrestre. "Scifi Latino"[who?] translates the plot: "Vigalondo writes that this will not be like a War of the Worlds with Tom Cruise, where a regular person manages to somehow closely witness all major invasion events. He writes that most people will experience a global alien invasion without even knowing it has happened, by listening to rumors, or engaging in pointless activities. Hence Extraterrestre."

In the morning when I awake
The first thing that comes to me Is how a lovers heart can break
When I lay down at night I pray my soul will keep
And I will be faithful into no other's arms I'll creep
Tossing and turning I am burning I am yearning to call your name
In the morning While I'm still yawning A thought is dawning
Do you feel the same
Open windows of the mind Get closer all the time
They want to draw me in Soon I could be falling
Open windows of the past A love that didn't' last
Then I think of you Soon I could be falling
I've been catching heat I've been losing sleep
I can't find my feet I've been on the street
I've been on the beat Dancing cheek to cheek
I know it could be lust And I could lose your trust
And we could turn to dust And blow away
Is there more to this Was it just a kiss
Or should I resist These feelings and run away
Open windows of the mind Get closer all the time
They want to draw me in Soon I could be falling
Open windows of the past A love that didn't' last
Then I think of you Soon I could be falling
Now I saw you standing tall
Head to the wind like an ocean breeze, but calm
Waiting there for walls to come up on both sides of you and fall
I've been hoping and noticed I'm lost in a sea, unfocused.
Passing the waves that's been riding the dream I hide in.
It's so loud, up with the sun
I crawl out of my home
I noticed I'm lost
In what I've become
And I'm hoping to notice a window that I don't want to close
Where do you want to go, to go? Where do you want to go?
Where do you want to go, to go? Where do you want to go?
So I'm hung loose like a curtain
I flow, making the wind look so cold
I'm holding everything so close
And I'm hoping I notice a window that I don't want to close
Where do you want to go, to go? Where do you want to go?
Where do you want to go, to go? Where do you want to go?
Where do you want to go, to go? Where do you want to go?
Where do you want to go, to go? Where do you want to go?
Long ago it went out of our hands
We are believing in words that we don't understand
Trust in the media's honest appeal
And forgot to trust in what we feel
Set all your channels open to receive
It will not be in vain
Collecting and reflecting
Is the way that leads away from pain
Life behind the barriers, in invisible frontiers
In a jail of glass, with walls made of frozen tears
Through windows we see, in the papers, on TV
Those information cannot mean much
Through windows we see, but we cannot touch
It is not the tumble of the dice
Remove those hands from your eyes
Just open windows in your mind
Leave the barriers behind
It is just a different state of mind
A thinking of a different kind
A little bit more encouraged voice
Speaking for the right of choice
Farewell to all that lies behind
Farewell to this pair of tired eyes
The head in the sky, the feet on the ground
We break all the walls around
Life behind the barriers, in invisible frontiers
In a jail of glass, with walls made of frozen tears
Through windows we see, in the papers, on TV
Those information cannot mean much
Through windows we see, but we cannot touch
It is not the tumble of the dice
Remove those hands from your eyes
Just open windows in your mind
Leave the barriers behind
Open eyes and open ears
Won't let us get too far
If we can't lay down our masquerades
And stand for what we are
All these sheets of glass are the barries between
Those of us, who wish to be
Those, who don't wish to seem
It's time to open windows in our minds
It is not the tumble of the dice
Remove those hands from your eyes
Just open windows in your mind
