The main focus of our work is providing educational support for children who have dropped out of school. Over the years, we’ve witnessed incredible transformations as many of them return to school and go on to complete their studies. Today, we’re thrilled to share the success of María José Casasbuenas, a student who has been part of our educational program for the past five years.
We are pleased to share the first newsletter of 2025. We begin by highlighting the support of CANPACK Poland, which has financed the Educational Program for the first quarter of 2025.
Likewise, we also extend our gratitude to the Zurich University of Applied Sciences and the company b.telligent for donating used laptops for the Computer Room. The construction of which was completed thanks to the financial support from Athanassios Kolivras' group of friends.
Wishing you a pleasant read and thanking you for your support.
At the beginning of the year 2024, we are pleased to report on the outcomes of our efforts during the last months.
We are pleased to share our first News Letter of 2023. We highlight the support of CANPACK-Colombia with the financing of the "Finish your Highschool" Educational Program. We also thank the AMA association of Belgium for funding the 2022 theatre classes, led by Professor Ana Mazhari. Additionally, the first two bachelors of the program graduated high school in November. We will start our newsletter with the arrival of the new volunteers and we will finish it with the projects for 2023.
With our first newsletter of the year 2022, we want to announce the completion of the library started in 2019, which bears the name of our great friend Roberto Villaquiran. Thanks to his effort and dedication with his group of friends from Europe and Colombia, he gathered the funds that were missing to finish it. The chairs and tables were a gift from CANPACK Colombia.
Despite health restrictions, we had the opportunity to travel with our own funds from Brussels to the social work on 4 occasions during 2021, providing clothes, toys and didactic material for the Ludoteca. At the same time, we purchased building materials and verified the works in progress: construction of the library, renovation of the nursery for children between 0 and 5 years old and extension of the Ludoteca for young people between 6 and 15 years old.
We are happy to share our newsletter for 2021 with you.
On February 5th 2021, we inaugurated a "Garden for everyone" to encourage children to produce quality vegetables.
The first week of January 2021, our social work planted 60 fruit trees with the help of the children.
At the end of January, we organized clean up days with children between 7 and 15 years old.
