A year has almost finished with the biggest hope of reaching a greater population of youngsters for them to receive our newly created on line contents. However, these times have been harder for our purpopses, considering of the total youngsters we were planning to reach this year only 10% of the beneficiaries count on intelligent tools or internet infrastructure available to acess our financial education programs.
Nonetheless, we still maintain our expectations of receiving the funds donated by people who believe in these young candidates, who have bet to their success. Sanctions imposed by the local government have impeded to send these. Meanwhile we have developed new contents and for sure we will be able to accomplish an interesting portion of our initial goal once such funds are received to be invested in the programs we will deliver. As school scheduled time for our classes have not already been provided due to continuous cancellations, postpositions and closures -just to name some interventions within the education calendar- we are prone to believe that once lists have been filtered by those who can attend and those who won't be able to do it, January will the month to reinitiate our classes continuing to complete the project.
I want to thank you and everyone who have believed in our proposal for your patience and confidence demonstrated along these years. Young people continue to be our focus and although facing major obstacles and lack of tools we will satisfy expectations of completion as indicated since the beginning of this project.
We wish you all a gorgeous Christmas period. Peace and love for you, your families and acquaintances.. God be with you!
