¡Time has passed by flying this summer and we have so many things to share with you!
As the summer begun children started school vacation for the next one and a half months, while this was happening all the teachers were on training to learn and consolidate new teaching strategies. We always look to improve every class and session.
But there´s was one program that outstand this season, we are talking about “My Rights”, responsible of promote, procure and protect children’s rights to identity, education, protection, and play.
As you may heard before, this 2018 the fifth generation started its process in our programs, and so far they been doing it great, but there were still some children that were not attending to school and some others didn’t have their birth certificate. And as these are two essential rights, we needed to speed out the process to make it happen, a process that requires determination.
After some weeks of hard work we finally achieved that four children get their birth certificate and other four were subscribed in the school system, it would not have been possible with the great support and disposition of the families.
And if this weren’t enough, we are happy to share that three children of the graduated generations are now part of a scholarship program that will support their college studies.
But it wouldn’t be summer without fun activities, so before our children started school again, we took them to one of the biggest parks in the metropolitan area and to a Museum for kids, making the most of their vacation and having a great time building new learning experiences.
Finally, in order to contribute to their right to education one of our partners gave to every child a new backpack with school supplies. For some families is hard to afford the material they will need along the course and it can determine whether they send them to school or not, fortunately now it’ll be easier for the kids to continue with their elementary studies.
All this happened in one trimester and were glad you are being part of this story thanks to your contribution. Let’s keep bringing out the best in us to make this world a better place for everyone.
