Vesión en español / Spanish version 

Mi nombre es Yeisy, tengo 39 años de edad, soy docente del Jenaro Aguirre Elorriaga desde el 16 de septiembre de 1998, hace casi 19 años.

Conocí la escuela gracias a la profesora Ruth quien se desempeñaba como coordinadora académica. Fue ella quien me presentóa la Hermana María Luisa Casar. Desde mis primeros días en la escuela, la Hermana María Luisa me brindó su calor de madre, su confianza, su bondad. Me acogió como una hija. Me incentivó a estudiar la carrera de educación y a superarme como ser humano y como persona.

Después de tantos años, el Jenaro dejóde ser mi colegio para convertirse en mi casa, en mi familia. Somos una gran familia "Jenariana".

Ahora me desempeño como docente de 6to grado con una matrícula de 38 alumnos. Sin embargo, en el transcurso de mis años en la escuela he enseñado en diversos grados, desde 1er grado hasta 6to grado.

He visto pasar muchos niños y todos han dejado una huella en cada esquina del colegio… y en mi vida. He tenido la oportunidad de darle clases a hijos de ex alumnos. He visto a los alumnos crecer como personas y muy a pesar de las dificultades, del difícil contexto donde se desenvuelven, siempre vuelven a su casa, al Jenaro Aguirre Elorriaga, con las ganas de que sus hijos sean formados con una educación de calidad y con valores humanos cristianos.

Jenaro Aguirre cumple una loable labor dentro de la comunidad del "Barrio 24 de Marzo" y sus adyacencias, ya que son muchos los niños quienes se benefician de la educación que brindamos, sin dejar de lado que también se han formado adultos con cursos de costura, computación, entre otros.

Los niños del Jenaro Aguirre gozan de educación de calidad, con actividades extra curriculares como clases de música y percusión, la coral, clases de inglés, entre otras que ayudan a nuestros niños a formarse para la vida de manera integral.

El Jenaro Aguirre brinda servicios médicos a los niños y personas de la comunidad. Al recibir los servicios de odontología, ginecología, medicina general y pediatría ellos no pagan, solo dan una pequeña colaboración.

Gracias al control pediátrico y nutricional que se les brinda a los estudiantes, el colegio ha podido recuperar a muchos niños con debilidades alimentarias.

Han sido muchas las experiencias vividas con cada uno de los estudiantes. Una de las más recientes fue la propuesta que realizóel curso de 6to grado durante el año escolar 2015-2016, donde los niños motivados por sus docentes, elaboraron un proyecto de vida para los próximos 10 años. Con la ayuda de sus representantes y maestras lo pusieron en marcha para finalmente exponerlo delante de sus padres.

Otra gran satisfacción fue cuando visitamos la Asamblea Nacional. Fue gratificante escucharlos hablar de su país con tanto sentido de pertenencia, analizando cada una de las propuestas que allíles planteaban.

Nuestros estudiantes salen con valores muy arraigados y con una visión de futuro. Salen soñando con la universidad, con formar una familia, centrados en lo que quieren. Esa es realmente la gran satisfacción que siento como docente.

En resumen, la Unidad Educativa Jenaro Aguirre Elorriaga es muy influyente en la comunidad del Barrio 24 de Marzo y en sus alrededores, ya que brindan educación de calidad basándose en los valores humanos cristianos. Las personas que hacemos vida allíapostamos por formar seres humanos capaces de salir adelante, brindándoles confianza en símismos e incentivándolos a ser cada día mejores.

El Jenaro Aguirre es valioso gracias a labor que realiza la Hermana María Luisa junto al equipo que conforma la Fundación Madre María Luisa Casar, siendo éstos últimos quienes se encargan de recaudar fondos, alimentos, medicinas, ropa y todo lo necesario para nuestros niños. Y muchas veces para la comunidad. Siempre dan de comer al más necesitado.

English Version/ Versión en inglés

My name is Yeisy, I am 39 years old and I have been a teacher at the Jeraro Aguirre School since September 16, 1998, almost for 19 years. I came to know about the school through their academic coordinator at the time, Professor Ruth, who introduced me to Sister María Luisa Casar. From the beginning, she was warm and kind, and treated me like a daughter. From this moment, she welcomed me to the school and encouraged me to study Education and to strive for greatness.  

After so many years working at Jenaro, this school is my home, my family. We are one big “Jenariana” family.

I currently teach Sixth grade, it is a classroom with 38 students but I’ve taught other grades, from first to sixth over the years.

I have come across many students and all of them have left their mark on every corner of the school… and in my life. I have had the opportunity to teach my old student’s children, I’ve watched them grow, and even in the difficult circumstances that they live in, they always seem to find their way back to the school, this time looking to give their children the Christian values and teachings they received themselves.  

 Jenaro Aguirre does a remarkable job in the “24 de Marzo” community and its surroundings. There are many children that benefit directly from the classes we teach, as well as adults who had taken sewing and computer courses, among others. 

The children of Jenaro enjoy quality education and extracurricular activities like music, choir, percussion and English. These activities keep the children busy and prepare them for life in an integral way.   

Jenaro provides medical services for the children and people of the community such as dental, Ob/gyn, general and pediatric medicine. The services are free of charge for children, and the adults pay a small fee.

Thanks to the pediatric and nutritional services, the school has been able to help children with dietary deficiencies recover, providing nutritious meals and dietary plans especially for them.

I’ve had many satisfying experiences with each of the students; a recent one I can recall was a project by the past 2015-2016 sixth grade class. The students were asked to prepare a project about their life goals for the next 10 years, and with the help of their teachers, prepared a presentation for their parents.

Another great experience was a trip to the National Assembly.  Listening to them speak about their country with such a sense of belonging and the analytical way they discussed about the proposals in the Assembly.

It is very gratifying to know that our students leave with deep rooted values and vision for the future. To see them go on to the University, knowing what they want in life and starting a family is the greatest satisfaction I can get as a teacher.

In short, Jenaro Aguirre School is important for the community of the “Barrio 24 de Marzo” and its surroundings, because it provides quality education based on Christian human values, and those of us who call it home are dedicated to shaping human beings that are able to get ahead in life, giving them confidence in themselves, pushing them to be better every day.

Jenaro is so valuable thanks to Sister Maria Luisa and her team’s work in the Foundation, which manages to raise funds for meals, medicine and clothes for our children and often for the whole community, always helping the needy.
