Along with you, in Asopica we have spent 16 years bringing education, food and quality of life to hundreds of Yaruro / Pumé children and their families.

Due to the pandemic, today our children are in their homes, eating tree seeds, plantain, yucca and hopefully some fish, helping their parents with the housework. They are not learning, not playing, not with their teachers who are also in their homes waiting for something to change to return to the classroom.

We need you now more than ever. Distance education for children will only be possible if we move “La Coromoto” to their homes, if we take their teachers, their love and support, their notebooks, their homework, their games. They will eat balanced meals only if we transport food to the 60 families of the students. To do this, we need to make long, difficult routes, get fuel, buy enough food for everyone, print their learning guides, among others. Bringing hope to each and every one of them will only take you two minutes without leaving your home, but you will be supporting us on the path of continuing to change lives, thanks in advance for your time and interest in the education and nutrition of children.

Rest assured that your donation will be well received and compensated with the satisfaction of seeing the dreams and longings of dozens of children crying out for education and for the opportunity to have a better life.

This first week of July we managed to meet again with our students and teaching staff of the La Coromoto School. After a significant effort of planning and logistics, we brought the teachers, the homework and also food for the students and their families.

Distance education for schools located in rural and border areas like ours posed particular challenges for Asopica. What if students and teachers do not have computers, smartphones, internet and in some cases, not even electric light? How to travel to the indigenous communities we help, without gasoline? Well the answer was always obvious to us, we had to take the school to their homes, consequently we had to create, imagine possible solutions and scenarios, be flexible and commit ourselves to the effort, so we did it, and as always, we did it together, with the support and accompaniment of our allies.

Bringing education to children, as well as providing assistance and protection actions is what gives a sense of purpose to our daily work, so their smiles and joy at seeing us have been our best reward. We have learned by doing it, more and more, so today we have sustainable solutions to guarantee their teaching-learning process, and balanced and nutritional quality food through our donors. Today we can say proudly that we have achieved our goal, and we will continue to do so whenever is necessary in order to ensure a better quality of life for them and their families.

Together we continue to make a difference!
