Empower Highly Outcast Children and Their Families

Hello friend, its been three months since the last time you read us, and we are happy to share with you some of the most relevant events in our organization.

In March, we worked on prevention of sexual abuse, highlighting the difference between good and bad secrets, private parts of the body that no one can touch, and identifying their support network to ask for help in case they need to. This protection tools are important since they live in contexts that make them more vulnerable.

During April, we celebrated Children’s day, each group had his own event so it meant two days full of celebration. With the help of our volunteer partners we made possible to create a party with a lot of fun activities, some of them were: cookie decoration, dance contest, team games, and doing clay from scratch. You could see their happines reflected on their smiles.

 In May, we talked about the importance of the enviroment, since the origins of the earth to the envorimental footprint of the human being among the history. We reflected about what we can do now to decrease each own enviromental footprint and what strategies we can do in our lives and community to protect the enviroment.

Finally, in mid May we celebrated one of the most important events for our organization: the 8th Anual Report, in which we shared our results and growth of 2018 with our donnors. This event also represented the launch of our fundraising campaign to build a new Learning Center, that aims to have better educactional spaces. You can find more about it in our projects on GlobalGiving’s platform.

We started this year full of energy, enthuasiasm and arts. Working with integration, safety rules, team work and artistic abilities.

The starting of a new period means to go back to a routine in order to get a work rythim, so the first weeks of the year children and their families remembered the rules we have at the Learning Center, and opening a space of participation they had the opportunity to gave some ideas regarding safety guidelines.

After this important step, our days were focus on developing social abilities trough integration games and activities in wich children could interact between them. The purpose was to help them go back to the routine, build a trusting enviroment and open spaces to strengthen friendship in them, as this contributes to a greater permanence in the program during the year.

Under the premise of learning between equals, children participated in a art project called Empty Bowls, that was guided the whole time by our youngest volunteers. It was a completely new experience for everyone since we use different materials than the usuals. This project was about making from scatch a personalized bowl using clay, and we worked on psicomotor skills, social and creative abilities, helping children to see that everything has a process to get it done.

We had too a special visit from a local leader cardboard Company, that showed them how do they work, their core values and the diverse steps they follow to finish a product. They were very interested on the information and had a lot fun building their own cardboard box.

Finally but not less important, as an organization, this year we will give hugh step, as we started with a fundraiser campaign to build a new learning center that will have wider spaces and more capacity to attend more children and families.

Thank you once more for being part of every new beginnig, you are an important part of this amazing team and the growth we have had among this months. Let’s keep working together to bring out the best in us!
