At Hogar Bambi we constantly strive to improve the holistic care we provide to the children and adolescents under our care. To achieve this, we focus on several fundamental development areas. Key among those is education and ensuring children remain within the formal education system.
With the start of the 2014-2015 school year this past September we saw an increase in the number of children and adolescents under our care enrolled in schools. All 47 beneficiaries from the previous school year successfully advanced to the next grade level and another seven were enrolled, bringing the total up to 54.
Education plays a key role in breaking the cycle of poverty affecting many children in Venezuela. Because of this, at Hogar Bambi we are dedicated to providing a comprehensive and integrated approach to schooling that will have a lasting, and meaningful, effect.
We work with a team of university students that volunteer their time to provide tutoring services and help instill positive values. Our staff of teachers and psychologists track educational development and provide one-on-one assistance to students. We also focus on sporting, cultural, and recreational activities to round out the educational experience.
Our focus is not solely on academics. We work with the children and adolescents to encourage personal growth and improved decision making so they can take a more active roll in ensuring a better living standard for themselves. It is this way that they will gain the tools to overcome the socioeconomic hurdles they face at home and in their communities.
