THE JOY IN NUMBERS
What community makes possible
Beyond the $20.000 USD raised for the Santa Teresa Public School, these are the numbers behind the work: neighbours who show up, businesses who give, talented volunteers, and children being cared for.

Santa Teresa Public School
Santa Teresa After-School Program
In 2026, our Fund launched the Santa Teresa After-School Program, providing a free, safe, and joyful space for children after school hours. We are also working to establish official guarderías (childcare programs) to access government support. The program aims to remove financial barriers and promote inclusion, dignity, and social integration by creating a shared space where children can learn, play, and grow together.
From Monday to Friday, 1:30–3:30 pm, children share a snack, participate in a group activity, enjoy free or guided play, and finish with a closing circle and reflection.
Activities include
- Movement and body awareness
- Life skills and financial literacy
- Choir and theater
- Arts and crafts
- Dance and rhythm
2026 Goal: A Bilingual Public Library
Our Fund is now taking its next step: establishing a bilingual public library for children and youth in Santa Teresa, in partnership with the Asociación de Desarrollo Integral. The library will provide access to books, learning resources, and a welcoming space for reading, creativity, and discovery—helping build a stronger culture of literacy and lifelong learning in our community.
