Support our ESports Club

Here in Uruguay, we have a saying that the year doesn't truly begin until the Cycling Tour ends, which happened last Sunday, so we can now officially say that 2023 has started.

The truth is that since February, ANIMA has been busy with students participating in several workshops and lectures in preparation for the academic year, which began in early March.

We received a new generation of students who have been impacted the most by the pandemic. They were in their first year of secondary school in 2020 and still face challenges related to their learning process and financial situations at home.

Despite these challenges, our students have the ability to bounce back and turn their hardships into skills to use in their classroom work and apprenticeships in companies.

They understand that every piece of ANIMA functions thanks to donors like you who believe in them and provide opportunities to develop their skills for their future.

However, true inclusion takes more than just providing opportunities. It also requires a set of soft skills and self-knowledge that we work on daily with our students and the teams that work with them, whether in the classroom or workplace.
To provide the best possible support, we continuously work to improve our team's skills and listen closely to our students' voices.

We encourage you to follow us on social media to keep up with all the information we share. We understand that it's in Spanish, but if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. We will be happy to reply.

Thank you for your ongoing support and belief in our students.

We wish you a wonderful 2023 so far!

It seems unreal that we started this year with facemasks and still some social distancing measures.

Fortunately that phase was overcome and this 2022 found us again in several in person events in our house where we had the honor to receive several special guests, like the Labour and Social Security Minister, Pablo Mieres, the republic Vice President Beatriz Argimón and Subsecretary General from United Nations, Achim Steiner. 

Also a new edition of the “OpenHouse” was a reason of joy for all the team and the students, like the honor to have the students pitching their projects in front of an exquisite panel of experts.

Like everything in life, not all were roses, they were moments, where we had to put the heart into finding alternatives and strategies to continue on giving more and better opportunities to our students, based on the fact that we have the best team ever!

2023 comes with BIG projects! We hope to be able to materialize the Social Impact Bond that will be a great opportunity, not just for us but for the Civil Society altogether, and at the same time it will be our year to GROW.

I am not going to spoil all the news we have for 2023 so you can keep connected to our social media where we try to show you a little bit of the day by day that we live in ÁNIMA.  

Now in a couple of days it comes time to rest and renew energies to the year to come where a new generation of students and their families put their trust in us (and in our community) and they bring their dreams, and their effort so we can walk with them in this road. This generation with the big news that we achieved Gender equality on ICT, something that we have achieved only once in 2019.

You are part of our community so all these achievements and dreams to fulfill are also yours.

Sending you a warm hug, we say THANK YOU to be part of the ANIMA community and let us do this possible!
