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.
During December —like the rest of the year—we did special activities with the children at their own homes. In the wake of social distancing requirements, it has been our goal to make sure that the children served by Poder Joven can feel the support of our foundation, and this was particularly important during the Christmas season. One activity consisted of bringing each child Christmas cookies along with ingredients for decorating them. We continued providing families with basic groceries regularly and served over 1,000 lunches for members of the community every month.
Group gathering restrictions prevented Poder Joven Foundation from offering the traditional annual Christmas Party. However, and thanks to the financial support from friends and sponsors, we provided Christmas packages for 130 vulnerable families. Each package contained groceries, new clothes, and new toys. We feel it is wonderful that we could conclude the year by sharing with those who now need our help more than ever before.
We are happy to announce our fully updated website. There you will find current information about the foundation, alternative options to support our work, and archived digital newsletters. We added the option to making donations online through our USA partner “Friends of the Third World” or directly through PayPal.
2020 brought great challenges to everyone, but this was also an opportunity to test our resilience and the ability to serve with determination those most affected by the pandemic. Thank you for your partnership and support!!

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.
