We are very happy to tell you that we are implementing a new program named: Anonos.lab
It is a program that is part of the project "Help youth in CR build a brighter future¨ and is the result of research, surveys and a process of design. This week, we started the pilot program in order to know if our new methodolody works. It was a complete success!
Thanks to your help, our students are building relationships and working in three edges: emotional health, self-descovery and vision building. Each group has a coach who is in charge of guiding them. 42 adolescents are participating in this pilot. Meanwhile, our other students are part of our regular program.
Thanks for your help! If you want more details or want to help, please contact us though social media.

Back to face to face!
By Mariola Fumero | Executive director
We are back!
Since early February, our amazing volunteers started to learn the new protocols, as well as our beneficiaries. In order to get back to face to face programs, we needed to be aligned. Our strategy was to start step by step, slowly and in order. During the first 3 weeks, just 1 group of 7 kids attended every 2 hours, during 4 days per week. Afterwards, one more group joined per hour. In 2 weeks, 1 more group will join per hour and by then, all of our +250 beneficiaries will be receiving face to face programing again.
This is a really good new! Some of the adolescents were having difficulties with their mental health. It has not been easy for them to stay at home with their parents, which in some cases are negligent or abusive; or to be kept away from their close friends or mentors, etc. We are very happy to have them back and not to see them only via our computers.
Will be back soon with more news!

Nico's story
By Nico | Beneficiary
Nico is one of Lifting Hands' adolescents that benefit from this project. She wanted to let youu know how her dream of being a volunteer was fulfilled.
"3 years ago I was given the honor of being a volunteer at the Lifting Hands Foundation and it was very exciting because I have learned many things and I started to think: my dream of being a volunteer was finally fulfilled. I feel that there are days when that we need to be encouraged to continue doing what we like and what better way than to help people who need it and who have support or a friend to talk to.
As human beings we are prone to having good and bad days, in which we wake up disoriented and not knowing what to do. Thanks to the Foundation I am a volunteer and now my dream is to be the director of Lifting Hands in the future. As this phrase says: "Nothing frees our greatness like the desire to help and serve" - Marianne Williamson ".
