We feel very honour you were part of it all over this year, we recognize that even in the distance one can always be active part of a positive change in the world. It was defenitely a challenging year and that means we are growing.
This last three months weren’t the exception: actions for the prevention of sex abuse, actions for the right to education, visit to international book fair and the closing celebration with children and their families are some of the most outstanding events in the institution.
In October, we focused on developing tools and concepts in children for the prevention of sex abuse with the help of an specialized organization in the topic. It was very important since they live in a context in which they could be vulnerable to multiple situations. With the consent of the families, now they have more habilities to be protected.
Meanwhile in the same month, we oficially opened a group of teenagers with the beneficiaries that are part of our programs but just started higschool this year. This action represents that the content they are learning now is adapted to their current stage of life, and that they’ll be having a special boost for new education opportunities, such as scholarships in recognized universities.
Later on in november, we were invited to paticipate in the International Bookfair that takes place every year in our town. We decide to take the youngest groups to live an amazing learning experience. Fun workshops, theater plays, and a interactive reading section were some of the things they enjoyed, contribuiting to their right to education and play.
Finally, we closed the year with our traditional Closing Celebration with children and their families. This time we gave it a twist by presenting in a creative way some of the important topics they learned during 2018. With 240 children we can say it was a great way to close this period.
Thank you once more for being part of the amazing team that motivate and inspire us to be better. On behalf of all who are on this side of the organization, we wish you Happy Holidays and a great 2019!
See you next year.
