Project Report | Aug 21, 2025
Continuing Our Path of Reflection and Renewal

By Fallon Burke | Assistant Director

Over the past several months, Rising Minds has continued the process of reflection and planning that we began at the start of 2025. This intentional pause has given us the space to listen more deeply to the San Juan La Laguna community and to consider how our work in health, wellness, and social-emotional learning (SEL) can best respond to current realities.

While we have not launched new programs during this time, our focus has remained on building strong foundations for the future. We’ve stayed engaged with local partners, revisited lessons from our past initiatives, and identified areas where community needs and Rising Minds’ mission align most strongly.

This period of evaluation is a vital step in ensuring that when we move forward, we do so with clarity, sustainability, and meaningful local impact. We are deeply grateful to our GlobalGiving community for your continued support and patience as we lay the groundwork for what’s ahead.
