Teaching Values - Saturday Development Sessions
Hello everyone! As some of you may know, we are frequently telling both our members and our donors that this is not a charity - we ask our members to give back both through direct service of others, and by making a commitment to bettering themselves and their families.
Part of this commitment involves learning the 10 Values we see as essential to a family's success. Inspired by the Gospel, these values have helped many, many families leave poverty behind in a way simple material assistance never could.
Part of receiving is giving back - here, Scarlet and Valentina are helping clean up after breakfast.
This past Saturday, we had our monthly Values Development Sessions. Attended by all of the parents and kids over 15 years old, each month we explore a different theme and ask our members for reflection and action. Up this month: Motivation & Self-Esteem.
Dra. Elizabeth Jara, a psychologist and Treasurer of the Foundation, discussed the power of believing in yourself, and Christian "Silveirio” Caicedo, himself a working kid and a career singer and performer, gave a rousing motivational talk.
