You light up our home / Iluminas nuestro hogar :)

Hello! We want to thank you because you make it possible for us to offer a decent, safe and respectful home to the children we care for and protect temporarily until they recover a family.

We are fortunate that the headquarters of CRAN is very wide, with many gardens, trees and green areas. During the day children play and run, breathe pure air and enjoy the sun. But at night, the headquarters was not illuminated and it became an insecure space.

The darkness represented a risk for the children and their caregivers because the land where CRAN is is very inclined and there are many stairs and slopes. If a caregiver had to take a child to the hospital, for example, she had to use a flashlight while carrying the child and the suitcase with her things. Or it was a risk for children who arrive late from school or who are referred to CRAN at night and who may fall.

It was also a risk that unknown people could enter.

With the contributions we have received in the project, we illuminated the headquarters of CRAN with the installation of several reflectors, the wiring and the necessary electrical connections.

Thanks to your generosity we were also able to replace the electrical installations in Casa Pollos, the house for babies between 0 and 2 years old, which were very obsolete. We thus avoid accidents such as short circuits that put the youngest at risk.

Thanks from the heart for your solidarity, for being part of CRAN!

We invite you to help us spread our project to continue building spaces of love and care for children. Thank you!

¡Hola! Queremos agradecerte porque tú haces posible que podamos ofrecerles un hogar digno, seguro y respetuoso a los niños y niñas que cuidamos y protegemos temporalmente hasta que recuperan una familia.

Tenemos la fortuna de que la sede de CRAN sea muy amplia, con muchos jardines, árboles y zonas verdes. De día los niños juegan y corren, respiran aire puro y disfrutan del sol. Pero de noche, la sede no estaba iluminada y se convertía en un espacio inseguro.

La oscuridad representaba un riesgo para los niños y sus cuidadoras porque el terreno en donde está CRAN es muy inclinado y hay muchas escaleras y desniveles. Si una cuidadora tenía que llevar a un niño de urgencia al hospital, por ejemplo, tenía que usar una linterna mientras cargaba al niño y la maleta con sus cosas. O era un riesgo para los niños que llegan tarde del colegio o que son remitidos a CRAN de noche y que pueden caerse. 

También era un riesgo que pudieran ingresar personas desconocidas. 

Con los aportes que hemos recibido en el proyecto, iluminamos la sede de CRAN con la instalación de varios reflectores, del cableado y de las conexiones eléctricas necesarias.

Gracias a tu generosidad además pudimos reemplazar las instalaciones eléctricas en la Casa Pollos, la casa donde están los bebés entre 0 y 2 años, que estaban muy obsoletas. Evitamos así accidentes como cortocircuitos que pusieran en riesgo a los más chiquitos. 

¡Gracias de corazón por tu solidaridad, por ser parte de CRAN!

Te invitamos a que nos ayudes a difundir nuestro proyecto para continuar construyendo espacios de amor y cuidado para los niños. ¡Muchas gracias!
