As we step into 2025, we want to take a moment to celebrate all that we accomplished together in the final months of last year. Your generosity and commitment to rural education and health in Santiago del Estero have made a lasting impact on countless children, families, and educators.
In October and November, we continued delivering ICT workshops, fostering digital literacy among students and teachers. By December, we proudly celebrated the hard work of 115 students and 10 teachers from five rural schools with a special diploma ceremony. In total, we conducted 50 workshops, equipping these students with essential technological skills that will empower them in their educational journey.
November also marked a significant milestone in our mission to ensure access to clean water. We provided a new water filter to a rural school in El Mistol, benefiting 30 children, three teachers, and 20 families. To complement this initiative, we conducted a workshop on personal hygiene and safe water consumption, reinforcing healthy habits for the entire community.
In December, our Health Team embarked on another mission, bringing essential medical care to rural communities. Seven professionals—specializing in biochemistry, pediatrics, social work, dentistry, and nutrition—traveled to four rural schools, providing healthcare to over 110 students and reaching approximately 70 families.
As the holiday season approached, we had the privilege of delivering holiday gifts to 150 families from six rural schools, a small but heartfelt gesture to celebrate community, hope, and togetherness.
With the school year wrapping up in early December, students will return to class in March. In the meantime, our team is already hard at work, planning new projects for 2025 with renewed energy and enthusiasm.
Thank you for believing in our mission and for being part of this transformative work. Together, we are shaping a future full of opportunity for these incredible children and communities!
