Dear donors,
We are getting ready for the July Bonus Campaign in order to keep on improving our playing center. We plan to improve the walls to have a new mural and to start building the top floor.
This playing center is open from Monday to Friday. The children play, and eat some food also. Nowadays the economic situation of the families is quite difficult and the children are happy to go to play and to eat. They also celebrate birthdays for each child. Volunteers from a Catholic Church come to celebrate the birthday parties. It is a very special moment for the children. Enclosed are some pictures of one of the birthdays.
In Potencialidades we believe it is very important to celebrate birthday parties because it helps children to feel loved and important. It really helps them a lot for their self esteem.
During this period of the year we have the Annual Art Contest in which one of the children wins a trip to know the ocean. In this Art Contest they have to work the Annual Motto that is this year is ¨I am what I give¨, the idea is to work the importance of serving others. Values are being worked along the year to educate the children and allow them to grow with dreams.
We thank you so much for your support and we encourage you to keep on helping us to build this new playing center.
Sincerely yours,
Andrea Mettler
Executive Director
