Along these last 20 years we have witnessed how our country economics has been destroyed by a consistent mismanagement of our inmense sources of wealth proceeding from both our oil industry, mineral sources and lands for agriculture. After this economic psunami we are nowadays the poorest country all over the continent, just preceeded by Haiti. Leftist political strategies are distinguished by submitting people to support the government as the unique provider, conditioning their daily resources to a vote or line of beggers.
This prolonged situation has produced a dismotivated population mostly within the youngest people who has migrated looking forward for better opportunities, unfortunately without having finished their education , while do not count on preparaation to cope with adversity, personal fortitude, abilities for life. Although our project was created and presented to strengthen our youg people with financial abilities for life, we have found along these two years that the program contents help them develop abilities to better understand how to use these financial tools to better cope with the low income they are receiving as well as innovate to reverse the hyperinflation we are facing everyday.
20 more young people have received a "Financial Education Program" with the donation we've received last January. They are now better prepared than others to cope with their low income in times of crisis.
Tough no more donations have been received this year, we are sure there still is an opportunity to help us helping youngsters to succeed, because we need them to stay here to rebuild our nation from its remainings.
Living under a destructive political leadership is an everyday challenge for all. However the resiliency gained through this process is a gain, so we expect to reverse the wave and be able to present a better pic of our country, where youngest people we are now preparing for life will surely have a leadership role.
