Bringing Yo Quiero, Yo Puedo to Chenalho, Chiapas

We have made great progress in our efforts to establish the first Yo Quiero, Yo puedo Center for Development in the region of Chenalhó in the state of Chiapas with programs directed towards babies, children from 0 to 10 years of age, and their caretakers, establishing contact with key stakeholders and community leaders in order to identify communities that are interested in participating in the project and to plan activities.

We’ve given several presentations of the project to education authorities, teachers, parents, and the general public in various communities in the region, and have sent out a call for people interested in being trained as promoters of the programs that will be implemented in the Yo Quiero, Yo Puedo Center for Development. Simultaneously, the materials that will be used to implement these programs are in the process of being designed and developed by the IMIFAP-Yo quiero, yo puedo team. Very soon, we will begin to give workshops to train the promoters, and we will be very close to opening the first Yo Quiero, Yo Puedo Center for Development in Chiapas!

Our goal is for the Center to be a valuable resource for the community and a space to promote cognitive development, adequate stimulation, and life skills development for babies and children from 0 to 10 years of age, and their caretakers. After the promoters have been trained and we open the Center, the promoters will give workshops for the program “I want to, I can… support early childhood development from 0-3 years” for babies from 0 to 3 years, “I want to, I can… learn and have fun in preschool,” for children from 3 to 5 years, and “I want to, I can… be successful in school” for children from 6 to 10 years. Simultaneously, the promoters will give workshops to mothers, fathers, and caretakers with the same themes so that they can promote and encourage the development of their children in an integrated way at home.

We are excited to continue our work to establish the first Yo Quiero, Yo Puedo Center for Development in the state of Chiapas. However, our efforts will be restricted without additional support from GlobalGiving donors. We hope that you can support us with your valuable donation to help us continue to our work to support childhood and community development.

Hemos hecho grandes avances para establecer el Primer Centro de Desarrollo “Yo quiero, yo puedo” en la región de Chenalhó en el estado de Chiapas dirigido a bebés, niñas y niños de 0 a 10 años de edad y sus cuidadores, estableciendo contacto con personas clave y líderes comunitarios para la identificación de comunidades interesadas en participar en el proyecto y en la planificación de actividades. Hemos realizado diversas presentaciones del proyecto a autoridades educativas, docentes, madres, padres de familia y población en general de varias comunidades de la región, iniciado con la pre-convocatoria de aquellas personas interesadas enformarse como promotores/as comunitarios de los programas del Centro de Desarrollo “Yo quiero, yo puedo”. Paralelamente los materiales que se estarán utilizando para la implementación de los programas del Centro de Desarrollo están en el proceso de diseño y desarrollo de contenidos por parte del equipo de IMIFAP - Yo quiero, yo puedo. ¡Muy pronto, vamos a empezar a impartir los talleres para formar a promotores/as comunitarios, y estamos muy cerca de abrir el Primer Centro de Desarrollo “Yo quiero, yo puedo” en el estado de Chiapas!

Nuestro objetivo es que el Centro de Desarrollo sea un recurso valioso para la comunidad y un espacio para favorecer el desarrollo cognitivo, la estimulación adecuada y el desarrollo de habilidades para la vida en bebés y niñas/os de 0 a 10 años de edad, y sus cuidadores. Después de que los/as promotores/as hayan sido formados e inauguremos el Centro de Desarrollo, se impartirán sesiones de los programas: “Yo quiero, yo puedo… apoyar el desarrollo en la primera infancia 0-3 años “ para bebés de 0 a 3 años, “Yo quiero, yo puedo… aprender y divertirme en preescolar” para niños/as de 3 a 5 años y “Yo quiero, yo puedo… tener éxito en la escuela” para niños/as de 6 a 10 años. Paralelamente se impartirán talleres para madres, padres de familia y cuidadores en las mismas temáticas de los programas para que promuevan y favorezcan, de manera integral, el desarrollo de sus hijos/as desde casa. 

Estamos muy emocionados de continuar nuestro labor estableciendo el Primer Centro de Desarrollo “Yo quiero, yo puedo” en el estado de Chiapas, sin embargo nuestros esfuerzos estarán restringidos sin apoyo adicional de los donantes de GlobalGiving. Esperamos que puedan apoyarnos con su valioso donativo para continuar con este gran esfuerzo a favor de la infancia y el desarrollo comunitario.
