Hoy nuestro corazón está con cada familia venezolana que sufre las consecuencias del reciente terremoto. En medio del miedo y la incertidumbre, queremos contarles que nuestro personal y sus familias se encuentran bien. Lejos de detenerse por el susto, el equipo del Jenaro Aguirre se ha volcado con profunda humanidad a preparar alimentos para los hospitales y recolectar ropa para las comunidades más golpeadas.
Aunque Petare no sufrió el impacto mayor, las estructuras de nuestra escuela sí registraron daños menores. Sabemos que al lado de otras realidades nuestra situación es pequeña, pero estos detalles deben atenderse con urgencia para garantizar que los espacios vuelvan a ser seguros y protectores para los niños del barrio, quienes encuentran aquí su cuidado y alimentación diaria.
Con la honestidad que nos caracteriza, nuestro foco ahora está en reparar estas áreas para continuar brindando nuestra atención integral sin interrupciones. Ver a nuestro equipo dar tanto apoyo en momentos de crisis nos demuestra que los valores que sembramos en la institución tienen raíces indestructibles.
Sabemos que el país enfrenta una situación de emergencia donde las necesidades son inmensas. Mantener la escuela en condiciones óptimas sigue siendo una necesidad real para nosotros, y es por ello que valoramos y agradecemos enormemente su aporte constante que nos permite mirar al futuro con esperanza.
¡Gracias por estar siempre con nosotros!

Today, our hearts are with every Venezuelan family affected by the recent earthquake. Amid fear and uncertainty, we want to reassure you that our staff and their families are safe. Rather than being paralyzed by the shock, the Jenaro Aguirre team responded with remarkable compassion, preparing meals for hospitals and collecting clothing for the communities hardest hit by the disaster.
Although Petare was not among the areas most severely affected, our school buildings sustained minor damage. Compared to the devastation experienced elsewhere, our situation is modest, but these repairs need to be addressed promptly to ensure that our school remains a safe and welcoming place for the children in our community, who rely on us every day for care, nourishment, and stability.
True to our commitment to transparency, our priority now is to repair these areas so we can continue providing uninterrupted, comprehensive care to the children we serve. Watching our team step forward to support others during this crisis reminds us that the values we strive to instill every day—compassion, solidarity, and service—have taken deep and lasting root.
We know Venezuela is facing an emergency of enormous proportions, and the needs are overwhelming. Keeping our school safe and fully operational remains an essential priority, and we are deeply grateful for your continued support, which allows us to face the future with hope and determination.
Thank you for standing with us, today and always.
