Small steps - Education for single mothers

Hello!

There is great news from the Pasos Pequeñitos project! On September 16, the newly remodeled daycare center was officially inaugurated. The daycare center is located in the center of Tegucigalpa, the capital of Honduras, in a residential neighborhood called "Altamira". The newly renovated building is equipped with everything necessary to provide excellent care for the children who will benefit from this project.

The project also has a new director. With her, the concept has also been revised, so that now the Montessori method is used, which is based on learning through experience. In the remaining three months of 2021, the care of nine children (four girls and five boys), is planned. All of these children are children of single mothers. 

In addition, workshops for mothers on women's empowerment, confident communication in parenting, and health and personal hygiene will be held later this year. Thanks to your donations, the renovation could be realized and the operation could be maintained. In order to fill all 20 spaces in 2022, we need your continued support!

10 years PPP

There was also a good reason to celebrate this summer! Pen Paper Peace e.V. celebrated its 10th anniversary and we put on a great online festival. There were concerts, workshops and networking. Among other things, we gave a stage to the winners of the international writing competition that we launched together with the Eckenroth Foundation. The winners, aged 10 to 14, presented their texts on the topic of "borders" and "friendship" and moved us all deeply. The event was a great success and we were able to draw attention to our educational projects. 

We would also like to invite you to register for our newsletter. In this way, you will receive regular updates on the situation in Honduras. Just go to www.pen-paper-peace.org and enter your name and e-mail address in the upper right corner. 

So once again a thousand thanks!

Best regards from Berlin,

Jana and the PEN PAPER PEACE team
