Our hearts are bursting with gratitude. The painting day at the Teupasenti Care Point was a total success, and it’s all thanks to our incredible FRIENDS FROM ACTION!💛

We didn't just transform walls; we created unforgettable memories! The children played, learned, had the absolute best time, and left their handprints shaped with love, right next to the word "JESÚS" ✋✝️.

The energy and laughter filled every single corner 🎉🏃‍♂️, and seeing the Care Point so full of life reminds us of the true value of community.

But without a doubt, the best part of all was seeing those radiant smiles painting right next to the phrase "Todo lo que Dios hace es bueno..." (Everything God does is good...)—it is simply priceless 😍💛

Thank you, Friends from Action, for bringing color, joy, and so much hope to our children! Together, we are painting a brilliant future. 🌟🏫

Every day, nutritious food is provided, ensuring that each child receives a warm meal in a caring and welcoming environment. Through these daily meals, children experience not only physical nourishment but also a sense of belonging, love, and care, helping to create a positive and supportive environment at the care point.

Temahlanti, a 17-year-old girl, shared how the program has influenced her life. She explained that she has started selling various items to raise money so that she can return to school. Previously, she had a negative attitude towards selling, but through the Change Makers program, she has become more open-minded and motivated. She now understands the importance of setting goals and working hard to achieve them. Her goal is to save enough money for her school fees before schools reopen.

Temahlanti also shared that being part of the Change Makers program has helped rebuild her confidence and self-worth. When she became a mom, she stopped attending the Care Point. However, meeting other young people with similar experiences encouraged her and gave her hope for a second chance. As a result, she returned to the Care Point and became actively involved in the program.

She expressed great excitement and gratitude for being part of the Change Makers initiative, as it has inspired her to work towards a brighter future and pursue her educational goals.

Each day, the children gather to share meals, pray together, laugh, play, and encourage one another. These moments create a sense of belonging and remind them that they are not alone. Many of the children spend a large part of their day at the CarePoint, and over time they have formed relationships that resemble those of brothers and sisters. They celebrate each other's successes, comfort one another during difficult times, and learn the importance of kindness, respect, and teamwork.

Recently, during a homework assistance session, we witnessed a beautiful example of this family spirit in action. The older children willingly took time to help the younger ones with their schoolwork. They patiently explained concepts, guided them through difficult questions, and encouraged them when they struggled. It was inspiring to see how naturally they stepped into mentorship roles, demonstrating responsibility and care for their younger peers.

The younger children greatly benefited from this support, not only academically but also emotionally. Seeing older children invest in their success gave them confidence and motivation to keep learning. At the same time, the older children experienced a sense of pride and accomplishment as they realized they could positively influence someone else's life. Their confidence grew as they discovered their ability to teach, lead, and serve others.

The children are learning that family is not only defined by blood relationships but also by the love, support, and encouragement we give to one another. Through these daily interactions, they are developing meaningful friendships, leadership skills, compassion, and a strong sense of community.

●But She never gave up. Everyday, she comes to school to learn. She listens carefully,practices her writing and she always tries her best. Little by little,She began to recognize letters and learn their sounds. She started to write vowels all by herself.

● As the days went by Senamile ' s confidence grew. The little girl who once struggled to write is now proudly writing her own name without any help. Today she is one of our most improved pre school learners. Her journey reminds me as a coordinator that with patience, practice and a positive attitude, anything is possible. I am so proud of the achievements and look forward to seeing her continue to shine and grow. We thank God for such an incredible growth.
