Three months have passed after our last report in October. Since then we only could serve three more beneficiaries: little boy Gael and the Cartagena teen twins that had not come back in a long time for lacking the resources to have a follow-up assessment, and were going through a difficult period with lack of sleep and disruptive behaviors. Your generous contributions made possible to serve 23 peopke in 2024. Our funds raised were almost over, but Giving Tuesday gave us a respite to at least start donating consultations again in the months of February and March, 2025. We hope you consider to continue to support more children, adolescents and adults in improving their lives. Our goal is 100 consultations to make a difference in those 100 people.
Desde nuestro último reporte en Octubre, solo pudimos servir a tres beneficiarios: el pequeño Gael y los gemelos Cartagena, quienes no habían venido en un largo tiempo por falta de recursos para tener una evaluación de seguimiento y estaban pasando por un periodo dificil por problemas de sueño y conductas disruptivas. Sus generosas contribuciones hicieron posible ayudar a 23 personas en el 2024 pero nuestros fondos se agotaron, y Giving Tuesday nos dio un respiro para por lo menos donar consultas de nuevo en Febrero y Marzo de este 2025. Esperamos que consideren seguir apoyando más niños, adolescentes y adultos para mejorar su calidad de vida. La meta son 100 consultas para marcar una gran diferencia en esas 100 personas.
In november we were invited to attend the II Social Impact Fair at the beautiful campus of the Universidad Metropolitana de Caracas where along many other organizations with diverse missions, we showed ours, presented our current campaings and gained visibility. We had a great time full of solidarity and good will. We also held our last Support Group for Parents of 2024 with our volunteer Michelle Bonelli of Brunch&Grow, at a local restaurant that lets us use its facilities
En Noviembre nos invitaron a asistir a la II Feria de Impacto Social en el hermoso campus de la Universidad Metropolitana de Caracas, donde junto a muchas otras organizaciones con distintas misiones, mostramos lo que hacemos y ganamos visibilidad, además de presentar nuestras campañas actuales y de pasar un rato buenísimo lleno de solidaridad y buena voluntad. Tambien tuvimos nuestro ultimo Grupo de Apoyo a Padres de 2024 en alianza con nuestra voluntaria Michelle Bonelli de Brunch&Grow, en un restaurante local que nos permite usar sus instalaciones.
After the incident with the tree, finally, in december, with the help of our neighbors, we got the broken wall repaired, and we are working with a volunteer engineer with a project to hopefully built a multi-purpose room at our center. We keep our fingers crossed on this and are working towards reaching this goal.
Después del incidente del árbol, en diciembre finalmente con la ayuda de nuestros vecinos, logramos que nos repararan el muro que tumbó la rama, y estamos trabajando con una ingeniero voluntaria que está ayudando a Sovenia con un proyecto para que ojalá podamos construir una sala multiusos en el centro. Tenemos los dedos cruzados y estamos trabajando para lograr esta meta.
And the last event of the year in which we participated after Giving Tuesday, was the celebration of International Volunteers Day with FIPAN, a local network of nonprofits, and celebrated the work of volunteers and, of course, those of Sovenia. We recognized volunteers in the categories of: child and adolescent, youth, professional, board, outstanding, more experienced and external organization. It was a festival of hope, solidarity and good vibes that helped everyone close the year with a cheerful spirit.
Y el último evento del año en el que participamos después de Giving Tuesday, fue la celebración del Dia Internacional de los Voluntarios con FIPAN, que es una red local de organizaciones, y celebramos el trabajo de todos sus voluntarios y por su puesto los de Sovenia. Dimos reconocimiento en las categorias de niño, niña o adolescente, juvenil, profesional, junta directiva, más destacado, y organización externa. Fue un festival de esperanza y buenas vibras que nos dejó el espíritu lleno de alegría.
Thanks to all of you for your kind support and trusting your valuable donations to the mission of transforming the lives of Venezuelan Children with Autism. We invite you to visit our social media @Sovenia_Cdta, and hope that you continue to support this dream.
