As we come to a close of the second semester this year, we would like to acknowledge and are very grateful for the trust deposited in us and our institution. We are filled with pride and commitment with the Venezuelan children in vulnerable situations.
Your continued support through this platform has been instrumental in order to maintain and grow our operations. Any contribution, no matter how small, allows us to change the life of a child and its family.
Thanks! And continue to trust us to offer better opportunities to the children of Venezuela.
Following are some of the many achievements that would show you the reach of your donations in the past 3 months:
*Over 300 pediatric patients in the hospital benefited from medications, surgeries, nutritional supplements, milk, diapers, laboratory exams and more. *The totality of the medical staff has received daily donations of medical supplies that are essential for their daily functioning. *In the Hospital located in Valencia, 62 pediatric residents, pediatric specialists in the areas of nephrology, surgery, and pulmonology, have received scholarships in order to advance their studies and residencies at the institution mentioned above. *In an effort to stop the massive desertion of all types of personal at the hospital, due to the dire circumstances the country is experiencing, mainly: low salaries and shortages of supplies, many recreational activities were organized involving the medical, as well as the nursing, administrative and service staff. *Over 400 pregnant women received prenatal vitamins, which results in a higher incidence of healthy term pregnancies and well as healthy newborns. *It is a well-known fact that the pandemic has caused massive disruptions in terms of education worldwide. But in Venezuela, after 2 years with the schools closed, the incentives to attend are becoming essential, since the desertion indices are greater than 50%. The schools that benefit from our program have received 58,300 complete meals, for children as well as teachers, in the last 3 months alone not only as an incentive to go to school, but also to make sure the child has enough nutrition in order to be able to learn and perform in school. *Thanks to the donation of water tanks, it was possible to accommodate 100% of the students for the last trimester of the school year in one of the schools that did not receive any water for over a year. *Various incentive programs were started for teachers, such as leadership and self esteem courses, as well as recreational activities. New projects were structured and presented with the goal of improving the academic level of the schools.
All of this has been possible thanks to the donations of each and everyone of you, moving forward lets keep supporting these children that need us more than ever.
