Dear Friends,
Since we last checked in, so much has changed around here!
In July, we completed a small remodeling project in our space in the center of El Progreso to maximize our indoor and outdoor spaces and prepare for gradual reopening. Eager to return to in-person work and programming, and following health an safety protocols, we opened our space to staff and youth leaders in mid-July. Since then, we have started to gradually reopen our space to our network of young people in their families, providing individual academic and emotional support services and facilitating circle discussions and workshops in small groups. To put this all into context, schools in Honduras remain closed and will likely not start a gradual reopening process until early 2022 at the earliest.
In August, in celebration of International Youth Day, we launched our new logo and look. We started the rebranding process back in early 2020. If we are being perfectly honest, it was not an easy road. We explored and came back to the drawing board several times before finally landing on something that truly represented the vitality, boldness and resilience of our young people to transform their lives and our deep connection to and sense of community. This is represented through our custom bold typeface, eagles in flight and oceanic textures that connect us to our roots, ascending lines that weave through our letters and come together to form an arrow as a symbol of transformation and resilience, and a color palette as vibrant and full of life as our young people, organization and community. We also launched our brand new website, which makes it easier than ever to learn more about our work and how you can be a part of it.
While we may have a new look, physically and digitally, the essence of what we do, why we do it and how it is possible remains the same.
We empower young people to overcome adversity and transform their lives, families and communities. We do it because young people deserve to enjoy their rights and their leadership and participation is critical to create a better world for all of us. And it is possible because of the creativity and generosity of our incredible community of young leaders, staff, volunteers, partners, donors and people like you.
As we move into the holiday season, we hope you know how grateful we are to have you in our community.
In appreciation,
Amanda
