Teenagers in our program received basic Barber training during the second semester of the year. The goal is to provide these young people with means to provide financial support to themselves in the future. All students were highly motivated and learned many haircutting and techniques put to test with family and friends!
On December 14 we celebrated our traditional Christmas Party in the Manrique neighborhood. The party was attended by 100 mothers with their children for a total of 300 people. Each family was provided with a box of groceries and each child received clothes and toys.
In November we went with a group of 33 children to Medellin’s nearest coastal town of Coveñas. Kids had a blast in this trip as for many of them this was the first time that they see the ocean and also the furthest they have been away from home. This was an unforgettably beautiful experience and we are deeply grateful to those who made it possible.
We are coming to the end of a year in which we worked with dedication and love to provide children with the basis to strive for a balanced and happy life.
Thanks to all of you for making this possible!!!
In the month of May, we invited the children’s families to enjoy a joyful afternoon of music, prizes, and fun. We know how important it is to work closely with the children’s immediate families, as this is where the learning and behaviors originate. For this reason, we strive to educate parents about the need to serve as positive role models for the proper development of their children’s personalities.
