Pacho and Mercedes' kids!
Pacho and Mercedes' kids!

Today we want to introduce you to Pacho and Merdcedes' kids Roberto Julio, Freddy Manuel, Mayerlis and Brisnedy Rosa. These young members of the familiy are also going to be the first inhabitants of UPYA.

They have big dreams: Brisnedy wants do be a social worker, while Freddy wants to be a business man and Roberto a professional football player. 

We thank you for helping us in the process of offering these people and their dreams a shelter where they all can grow and come true! 

In order to build those dreams, FEM offers recurrent donations options, with which we are able to maintain middle term interventions that includes: English lessons, free time activities for kids, start-up support (Mercedes is an active member of one of them, named MERAKI) and a women's savings  group. 

Please keep looking closely to our work with this community, these projects are big and they're just getting started. 
We would love to be there all the way long until these kids become succesful adults and great persons. 

Thanks again from the field!

Roberto, Freddy, Mayerlis and Brisneda
