We are visiting educational institutions to follow up with our beneficiaries. We want to ensure they remain in the classroom and identify potential warning signs that could interfere with their educational process. Networking with schools strengthens trust and joint care for their well-being. Education, protection, and real support! 💙
In this leadership and generational renewal training, each member of our team is beginning to take on new roles within the Foundation. 🙌💡 A space to discover talents, strengthen skills, and prepare ourselves to continue building the future of our community together. 💪🤝
A brief summary of what we experienced during our Community Leaders’ integration.
We successfully carried out a recreational and fun-filled day, where our beneficiaries enjoyed a series of traditional game stations and challenges that tested their skills. Additionally, we had the support and accompaniment of a group of volunteers from East Carolina University (USA), who spent a day volunteering at our Foundation. Would you like to spend a day volunteering with us?
We held the closing ceremony of our Vacation Workshops at the Lipaya Center and welcomed a visit from our international volunteer Santiago Fuisz and his family from the United States, who spent time with our beneficiaries and made donations.
We continue to reap the fruits of our Community Leadership project; these young people who grew up at the Foundation are now essential protagonists of the work we do with the community and are part of our Generational Succession plan.
Learning can be fun! We have started our vacation workshops in the Lipaya neighborhood, where exploration, experimentation, and play will be the learning strategy. And as a plus, the teachers are the youth from the Community Leadership group.
We held our Solidarity Closet, where the Lipaya neighborhood community was able to access clothing, books, and useful items in good condition at symbolic prices.
These types of activities seek to promote a circular economy and responsible consumption, while also providing access to basic resources for community members.
Thank you to everyone who made donations and to our Community Leadership group who took care of the logistics.
With willing hands and committed hearts, our young people took part in organizing and sorting the donations that will be part of the upcoming Solidarity Closet 💙
Clothes, books, and useful items were carefully selected by our youth leaders, thanks to the generous support of those who believe that reusing is also an act of love and awareness.
This day was much more than a logistical task—it was an opportunity to strengthen communication, learn to delegate, plan as a team, and take on responsibilities. Because when we work with respect and purpose, every action becomes a seed of transformation.
This weekend, the boys and girls from the Community Leadership project went out into the neighborhood to make door-to-door visits. They knocked on doors, talked with families, and listened to how the children are doing at home.
With simple questions and a lot of willingness, they showed that leadership is also about being present, listening carefully, and building trust through everyday actions 🫂
During the visits, there was also space for inclusion. In one of the interviews, Bryan, one of our young leaders who is deaf, conducted an interview in Sign Language with a mother who shares the same condition 🦻. It was a simple but meaningful moment that reminded us of the value of having diverse leaderships that connect through empathy and lived experience.
Every step these young people take strengthens the bond we value so deeply—the one built between the Foundation, the beneficiaries, and the families we work with every day.
