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.
In December, we held our traditional Christmas celebration in the Manrique neighborhood. During the event, we distributed food baskets to 100 families and provided new clothes and toys to more than 150 children. The families and children expressed heartfelt gratitude, sharing their affection and joy as they felt welcomed, valued, and cared for by our foundation. We extend our sincere thanks to everyone whose generosity and support made this meaningful celebration possible.
Throughout 2025, we reaffirmed our commitment to caring for every child in our foundation with dedication, love, and devotion. It was a year filled with joy for both the children and our staff, who cherished each moment spent nurturing, protecting, and supporting them in Poder Joven’s homes—while helping shield them from the risks present in the environments where they live.
In August, we celebrated the Antioquia Fair in Poder Joven’s homes. Antioquia is the region where Medellín, its capital city, is located, and the celebration offered a meaningful opportunity to honor our traditions and share the richness of Antioquian culture with our children. We taught them about the origins of these traditions and encouraged them to preserve the most positive aspects of the Antioquian spirit—especially solidarity and the resilience to overcome adversity.

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.
