Dear Friend,
We just ended our second season of our Summer Program 2019, this time happening at our Las Claras Center in Santa Ana, and it was a complete success! We were able to accommodate 25 girls, who received classes from social skills, conflict management, warning signs and prevention of human trafficking, to culture, literature, drawing, and a museum experience at Panama’s “Biomuseo”.
Furthermore, our own Claras students (see main project for reference) served as leaders by providing the smaller girls with guidelines and their own examples for inspiration.
We're motivated to continue working for a bigger and better summer program in 2020. We've seen astounding results since the first edition of our program: to date, none of our students have abandoned school or gotten an early pregnancy. As you may already know, both these factors are highly common for girls 7-14 living in the Felipillo and Santa Ana Communities, and is the main reason we created the Las Claras Summer Program in 2018.
Nevertheles, we've a long way to go and we need your help to continue this project. Keep on joining us in our fight to reduce child/teen pregnancy, maintain girls in school and light the way for a better future!
More action still to come, stay tuned :)
