Sponsor 630 Children in Need Through Education

Fundación DEHVI is growing as the weeks go by. People are getting to know us and are trusting us more and more with the services and support we provide to the children, families, and communities where we work. For the moment, we are providing access to quality early education and daily meals to almost 400 boys and girls that live in extreme poverty, poverty, and socio-economic vulnerability in Costa Rica’s Greater Metropolitan Area. However, we are not doing this work on our own. Your donations have contributed to our growth, and more importantly and more specifically, your donations have contributed to the cognitive, physical, and socio-emotional development of all these children we are supporting.

Our five child centers are working on different projects and are celebrating important dates such as The Children’s Book Day! Fundación DEHVI’s child center located in Loto de Desamparados celebrated on April 1^st this magical day. During all march, Loto’s teachers taught all the boys and girls everything about books. They taught them about the importance of taking care of books, how are they used, and they learned about its parts. After this introduction about books, the children began to work on their own book projects. The teachers of the youngest children developed one book with the help of all of their students, but the teachers of the oldest children helped each of their students create a book of their own.

The 3 and 4 year olds created their own ‘story books’. They told their own stories from when they were in their mothers’ tummies to where they are today. They also made the books’ illustrations. All the books were ready before The Children’s Book Day because this day they presented their parents, teachers and all of their other child center-mates the book-projects they had been working on.

Additionally, the teachers had a surprise for their students! They recreated the Three Little Pigs story where they made and decorated the set with all-recycled materials. The children had a lot of fun because they had read the story before and now they were seeing the story right in front of them.

Thanks to you, these 43 boys and girls in Loto and all the other children in the other 4 child centers operated by Fundación DEHVI are learning and having fun! They are learning in the most creative and innovative ways that help them develop life long skills.

If you are not making a recurrent donation yet I encourage you to do so. When you make a recurrent donation, you are saying that you believe in these children and in the work that we are doing. And if you are making a recurrent donation, I thank you and encourage you to tell your family and friends about us and show them how they can make a recurrent donation as well.

With your help, we can keep growing more and more and benefitting more and more children’s lives. 

Thank you for investing in these children’s present and in their futures as well. Thank you for supporting Fundación DEHVI’s work!

Kind regards,
