new concept working well

By Katrin Hennings | chairman

We are working with our new concept and it is working well:

Our small group of girls meets regularly once a week: they talk with each other and our coordinator and report their successes and problems. These include events at school, within their families, and whatever else has happened of importance to them. They share a snack and have fun together.

This way we stay in touch, see how the girls progress and offer individual help, if necessary. We offer educational and social support, and also financial support if an emergency occurs or expenses for school are due.

Two of the girls lost their fathers last month and we were able to support the families during these difficult moments.

One of our girl’s family lives in the countryside. She can now stay during the week at a private home in Ocotal so she can attend secondary school.

Our goal is to create a reliable support system and also offer an opportunity for positive and fun experiences.
