The project #WITHYOUECUADOR has being executed at Punta Blanca - on the road Jama - Pedernales, which is located approximately 1 hour from Canoa on the main highway to Pedernales. Punta Blanca is a small laid back fishing village some few kilometres on the coast.
On May 30, we have our first staff and volunteers meeting in order to do the planification for the first six months of 2016.
On June 2, we started with our first visit to the village as part of the agenda of activities in June. We travel with a team of professional volunteers,whom were in charge to make the census population and we also make the first delivery of hygiene and food kits for 45 families.We share with them their concerns and we were able to identify needs by the given information of the families during the census. This was useful for us to raise a real information of how many women, men, children and adolescents live in Punta Blanca and also urgent needs, living conditions, diseases, among others.
On July 6, we trained the team of volunteers with a workshop of EMOTIONAL SUPPORT, giving by Sic Sonia de Aviles. This enable volunteers to lift the spirits of the inhabitants of the village.
On July 16, we perform the field intervention carrying out the workshop and delivering new hygiene and food kits. Sic The psychologist Sonia de Aviles, was the person in charge of conducting this activity.
The workshop was successfull which responded to the call of a total of 30 residents of the community. This 28 of July we are travelling to work specifically with children and adolescents of the community, we will be teaching them how to make their own puppets, face painting, theater and a craft worshop.
All these activities respond to the love we feel for our country, this community has many needs and our duty is to mitigate the pain and to bring them love and hope. WE LOVE YOU ECUADOR!
