These results were more than expected!. In our previous report we informed that a new cohort was soon to be completed, but our expectations were exceeded through some alliances we have signed with important corporations that have been our projects' benefactors through the year.
Taking the opportunity of being a co-participating member of the Caracas Start Up Week we founded the best arena to potentiate our interventions, considering that facilities at remote places or waiting for rooms provided by the communities or Municipalities were impeding a higher impact and reach. So we have found out that initiating alliances with various corporations enabled to add not only wider and beautiful classrooms and coffee breaks, but marvellous volunteer teams who acted as instructors to complete two programs which helped us reach out 60 new beneficiaries that are now prepared with financial and entrepreneurship knowledge and tools for them to initiate their own business.
With the resources some donors have provided and finding out this important support to our structure, we were able to duplicate expectations. We feel proud of counting with excellent companies, Telefonica and DirecTV , to provide their spaces and volunteerism to cope with these two cohorts. One of these, the program taught at Telefonica Foundation, was addressed to teachers for them to replicate the knowledge among their schools' students who needed it primarily.
New steps to climb for reaching our goals and we keep walking.
