January-March 2023 Report

During the first three months of this year, we have had more volunteers serving the kids,
especially families with their children. This had been very positive for our kids because of the
many activities and parties they have had so many different activities with them.
We took the kids to Parque Inclusivo and celebrated there the birthday of one of our youngest
girls. Another time we took them to the movie theater to watch Puss in Boots. It was the first
time in three years, that they were able to go there.
Every week we have had recreational, playful, sports, and cultural activities. We have been
celebrating each holiday with parties and activities. For example, during carnival, thanks to a
donor we had a foam party with a foam cannon. They enjoyed this activity very much.
In regards of health, one of our youngest kids had a surgery to get a gastrostomy feeding tube.
He’s been recovering and gaining weight, which was one of the reasons why he needed of this
intervention.
We are grateful with all the donors who support us with their contributions. Their constant
help makes all of these things possible.
