OUR PARTNERS ACCOMPANYING OUR INITIATIVES

On the occasion of the suspension of face-to-face school activities, at Asopica we have designed the project: “La Coromoto goes to the communities” in this sense we have considered moving the school to the homes of each of the students, bringing them food and academic activities with the in order to guarantee their care.

In this regard, in June we received two food donations from our allies Cargill (120 kilograms of pasta) and General de Alimentos Nisa GÉNICA (120 kilograms of milk drink), these donations will contribute significantly to the balanced nutrition of our children. These initiatives allow us to continue fulfilling our mission of providing Yaruro/Pumé children and their families with quality of life.

Together we make a difference and we always go far.

 

WORKING WITH KEY PLAYERS IN SAN FERNANDO

We recently met in San Fernando with various personalities from the area, where there was extensive discussion about the problems and deficits in the area, who are the key informants and relevant people, etc. Useful information to align individual strategies and initiatives with the aim of having greater scope and coverage and therefore greater impact in the communities in which we are working.

Likewise, they were informed of the project led by Asopica approved by the Lutheran World Federation to map and diagnose the social organizations of San Fernando and Bajo Apure, to which they showed great interest and desire to support and collaborate in the uprising of information.

WE VISITED OUR CHURCH AND WE HAVE NEW SEMINARISTS

We recently carried out an eye inspection of the facilities of our Santo Cristo del Capanaparo Church in La Macanilla. Additionally, the seminarists Juan Bautista Infante and Jeusmar Castillo have started their work with us, under the supervision and guidance of Father Meneses. They currently occupy the priestly house of the Church and will resume pastoral work in the school, as well as care for the community sphere of the families of our students together with the teachers and director of our educational center, in order to start a process of gradual evangelization with them. In addition to the masses and pastoral accompaniment of our educational community, it is also worth noting that they celebrate mass on Sundays at 9:00 a.m. and on Saturdays they are preparing the youth of La Macanilla for Confirmation in the mornings and for First Communion in the afternoons.

A THIRD HIGH SCHOOL ALTERNATIVE FOR OUR STUDENTS

On one of our recent trips to Apure, we visited the facilities of the Diocesan School, and talked to Fr. Álvaro Meneses, who is principal of the school, and also responsible for the missionary work in our of Santo Cristo del Capanaparo Church located in La Macanilla.

Father Meneses also informed us that starting this school year our students will be able to continue their secondary studies at the Diocesan School. We welcome this news, it is important for our students to have a new educational institution to continue studying, this comes in addition to the initiative of our habitual allies for 16 years, that is, the Casa-Hogar San Fernando de las Hermanas Franciscanas and the Gumilla Father Farm School.

We visited Apure from January 30 to February 1, 2020. While being there, we went to the Padre Gumilla Farm School, in La Guanota to meet the new school authorities, teachers, Luis Carreño the principal and Rosa Jiménez the assistant director. Additionally, we introduce our new Executive Director, Maitane Azpitxaga. The authorities ratified their willingness to accept our students in their facilities to continue their high school studies, in this regard they were satisfied with the good performance of them in the educational and personal sphere, because they are accustomed to living according to the rules of a similar system.
