Thank you very much for your trust and support over the past year. We wish you and your loved ones a joyful Christmas and a happy and healthy start to the new year.
Our children successfully participated in the ‘Education for Life’ course, strengthening essential everyday skills. Thanks to a generous donation, solar panels now provide the home with sustainable and reliable energy. The Semana de Oxigenación offered creative activities, excursions, and valuable relaxation. We celebrated Día del Niño with new clothes, gifts, and a visit to Pizza Hut, while in Unión y Esperanza a total of 278 children enjoyed their own special day. At the joint soccer tournament, fair play and joy were at the center. The school El Alpinista also strengthened community ties with a family day, celebrated the Fiestas Patrias, and won several medals at the regional cycling race
In the second quarter of 2025, we achieved significant progress in our projects. At the children’s home in San Pedro Sula, a new computer room was opened and a new director welcomed. In Santa Rosa de Copán, 156 people participated in hands-on courses that have already led to initial professional successes. In the village of Unión y Esperanza, community life was strengthened, a village festival celebrated, and construction began on a clinic and a community center. The school El Alpinista was recognized for its achievements and is focusing on English and computer science as a foundation for the future.
We support young women during their studies and as they enter the workforce. Five of the older girls now live together in a shared apartment, practicing independence. Despite the INFOP strike, we were able to offer nine courses at the SRC vocational training center and computer classes at six schools. At our school El Alpinista in Colonia Unión y Esperanza, 288 children receive an education on-site. The snack sales program empowers single mothers, and through computer and English classes, we create opportunities for a better future.
At the end of January, the new school building El Alpinista was officially inaugurated as part of the 100-Houses Project Unión y Esperanza. This significant project was planned and implemented by the Fundación Yo Quiero Ser and fully funded by the Stiftung Kinderheim Yo Quiero Ser from Switzerland.
