DIGITAL NEWSLETTER – AUGUST 2026
In June, the children enjoyed a wonderful, fun-filled activity preparing simple recipes that allowed them to learn, play, and have a good time, all while serving delicious food to their classmates.
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!!!

At Poder Joven, we seek the holistic well-being of our children; for this reason, we offer them activities designed to develop their cognitive and social skills. However, the nutritional support we provide daily is no less important. At our facilities, we serve a total of 230 meals per day (5,060 full meals each month). This nutritional support enables our kids to enjoy the activities we offer and helps them concentrate more easily during the academic reinforcement sessions.
