Challenges overcome - Retos superados

By Rafael Sanabria | Project Leader

Dear Friends and supporters

It is very important for us to share the results obtained during 2017 with our children and young people. Thanks to your support we have been able to continue building the future with love and passion.

We continue with the work begun 17 years ago educating orphan children and youth in Colombia. We proudly share with you the degree of Leidy, who finishes high school and prepares to start college.

2017 was a year of challenges:

- Challenged our leadership to reintegrate some of our children to their families

- Challenged our mission to contribute to Colombia's social change through children and young people

- Challenged our commitment to guide our children and young people to progress academically

- Challenged our ability to act against different problems to protect them

- Challenged our creativity to create new ways to collect funds for our programs.

 

We can proudly inform you that the challenges were successfully overcome.

We want to share the testimony of Paula, one of our young women adopted in 2003, who sent a message to our director:

"I was with Ana Maria Rojas Estrada in Asociación Vivamos and she taught me the most important lesson a child can learn. She organized a great event to bring toys and food to children who were in worse shape than we. It took weeks to organize this. I think she wanted to show us that even though we did not have much in an orphanage, we were lucky to have a house where we could all sleep, someone to take care of us and love us, which is why Toys for Tots is important to me. It allows my preschoolers to know that they are fortunate and loved. Thank you Ana Maria Rojas. I use this to teach my preschoolers and any other children. Thanks for everything you did for my brothers and for me.

I love you and I miss you

Paula "

The testimony of Paula and the fact of having children and young people healthy, cheerful, with social and family values and working for their life project motivates us to continue our work, promoting the development of their skills and abilities that allow them to be independent , active and productive at family and social level, improving their quality of life, which is possible thanks to your support and the commitment of all volunteers.

In 2018, we need your help to ensure that the Vivamos Association project continues to generate important results because the children and young people in this program have shown advances in their knowledge and continue their academic and occupational preparation during this year. You only need to go to http://goto.gg/13344. We invite you to set up a recurring monthly donation. It is important to emphasize that donations made through Globalgiving can be made using a credit card or with Paypal. In addition, for residents of the United States, these donations are tax deductible.

Thank you very much for helping us. In Asovivamos we build future with love and passion

Estimado amigo y benefactor

Es para nosotros muy importante compartir los resultados obtenidos durante el año 2017 con nuestros niños y jóvenes.   Gracias a su apoyo hemos podido seguir construyendo  futuro con amor y  pasión.

Continuamos con el trabajo iniciado hace 17 años para educar a niños y jóvenes huérfanos en Colombia. Estamos orgullosos de compartir con ustedes el grado de Leidy, que termina la escuela secundaria y se prepara para comenzar la universidad.

El año 2017 fue un año de retos:

-Retó nuestro liderazgo para reintegrar algunos de nuestros niños a sus familias

- Retó nuestra misión de contribuir al cambio social de Colombia a través de los niños y jóvenes

- Retó nuestro compromiso para guiar a nuestros niños y jóvenes a progresar académicamente

- Retó nuestra capacidad de actuar frente a diferentes problemas para protegerlos

- Retó nuestra creatividad para crear nuevas formas de recolección de fondos para nuestros programas.

 

Podemos decirles con orgullo que los retos fueron superados exitosamente.

Queremos compartir el testimonio de Paula, una de nuestras jóvenes adoptadas en el año 2003, quien envió un mensaje a nuestra directora:

 

"Estuve con Ana Maria Rojas Estrada en Asociación Vivamos y ella me enseñó la lección más importante que un niño puede aprender. Ella organizó un gran evento para llevar juguetes y comida a niños que estaban en peores condiciones que yo. Le tomó semanas organizar esto. Creo que quería enseñarnos que aunque no teníamos mucho en un orfanato, tuvimos la suerte de tener una casa en la que todos podíamos dormir, alguien para cuidar de nosotros y que nos amara. Esto es por lo que Toys for Tots es importante para mí. Les permite a mis preescolares saber que son afortunados y amados. Gracias Ana Maria Rojas. Uso esto para enseñar esto a mis preescolares y a cualquier otro niño.

 Gracias por todo lo que hiciste por mis hermanos y por mi.

 Te amo y te echo de menos

 Paula "

 

El testimonio de Paula y el hecho de tener niños y  jóvenes  sanos, alegres, con valores sociales y familiares y que  trabajen por  su proyecto de vida nos motivan a continuar nuestra labor,  promoviendo el desarrollo de habilidades, destrezas y capacidades que les permiten ser independientes, activos y productivos a nivel familiar y social, mejorando su calidad vida, lo cual es  posible gracias a su apoyo y al compromiso de todos.

En 2018 necesitamos de su ayuda para asegurar que el proyecto de la Asociación Vivamos continúe generando importantes resultados porque los niños y jóvenes en este programa han mostrado avances en su conocimiento y continúan su preparación académica y ocupacional durante este año. Solo necesita ir a http://goto.gg/13344. Lo invitamos a que configure una donación mensual recurrente. Es importante recalcar que las donaciones realizadas a través de Globalgiving se pueden hacer usando tarjeta de crédito o con Paypal. Además, para los residentes en Estados Unidos estas donaciones son deducibles de impuestos.                  

Muchas gracias por ayudarnos. En Asovivamos construimos futuro con amor y pasión.
