We want to start this report by thanking all our recurrent donors for contributing to improve the quality of life of our girls in the program and wishing them good health and many blessings during this difficult time.
Living in times of Corona Virus has changed the life of all of us and also put another challenge in the life of our foster girls and adolescents. We are working together to take the best out of them. The aim is to developed resilient human beings so when the time comes that they has to face more adversities they are better equipped to succeed.
To better manage the time of the residents at home, we have had to change the daily routine of the girls since schools are closed and education is now provided by distance. The residents are spending more time in the facility. Tutors are coming in earlier to address the educational needs of the residents. We are organizing more extracurriculars activities such as cooking workshops, hand craft sessions, paint and drawing classes, among others.
The challenge that we are facing now is that we are falling short on escort personnel as the girls are now in the house during weekdays. To face this challenge we are extending and redistributing working schedules as much as we can to make sure that the girls are accompanied at all times.
The nurse and other clinical personnel have been providing education about the Corona Virus to the residents, and its preventive measures such as social distancing, hand washing, cleaning surfaces and have good nutritional habits to enhance their immune system. As of today, we do not have any positive case of COVID-19 in our Program. We are following 100% the stay home order and restricting the number of visitors to our premises.
The program psychologist and social workers are working with the residents individually to address any concern or stress related to the situation with the Corona Virus.
We are certain that we will succeed these difficult times and become stronger after the fact.
