Description
Our project was established with the goal to change the behavior, to increase the knowledge and to alter the lives of the people in the district of San Jerónimo. We believe that in order to change the mentality of any group of people, you have to start at the base – with the children.
We want to bring awareness to the children, that they can break through social boundaries and live a better life. Most importantly, we hope to help them gain personal values like love and respect for themselves and others, to be able to lead happy and healthy lives with more opportunities for a brighter future. This includes our focus on the importance of school, knowledge and education.
If we can alter the life of just one single child for the better by providing them with more opportunities, our time and energy has been well spent. That being said, we work tirelessly to make a change, beginning with the district of San Jeronimo.
