A powerful approach to change 46 children's lives

Dear friend and supporter,

My name is Louise, I’m project leader, and I’m so happy to have the opportunity to send you this very 1st report on this very project, which is a special one to me. And, to wish you a happy new year as well! I’ll keep this report short, but still descriptive, so please hang on…

To introduce you to our mental health area - who are those in charge of the project you’re supporting - I think there’s no better than Adriana Morales Baro to describe it. She’s one of our two psychologists and the coordinator of the area:

"(…) This area offers each child the opportunity to work in themselves, either individually or in the group, to develop their social skills or [...] their emotional skills. They don’t always have a quiet or calm space at home. So this program represents this to them, a peaceful moment.

Besides, it’s a space for each one of them, not for their brothers, sisters or their mothers. They have this moment where everything is focused on them. We help them create a secure and trustworthy bond. 

I believe, that this program, strengthens and supports the other areas do, because, without adequate emotional development, there may not be security, self-esteem, social skills to relate to other children, which permit them to work on school work and group issues.

I believe this is the area that gives them the possibility of doing or living something different from what they normally live.” 

If you're still reading along, then I would like to thank you. Thank you for participating, by supporting, but foremost, for your curiosity and willingness to get to know what we do. 

That was all for now. I hope you'll have a good start to 2022.
