TERKEMUKA: Niños En Accion

Terkemuka is a project at Amancer, Colombia that brings together children ages 7 to 12 years in an afters-chool program for social, cultural and creative growth. The program was founded in 2018 but had to stop during the Covid crisis. With help from your donations, the project began again this July. Below is a brief report from Francisca Bonilla – Director and R.

“We made the decision to start working with the children after the Zone 8 meeting, (July 21 to 23) that was held at the Amanecer International Center.

There are already 20 children registered and their families are very satisfied. We believe that this project can be combined with activities with much emphasis on environmental awareness. For now, we are and we are going to enjoy working with the children.

We plan to finish the project in November, to match the Christmas holidays and hold several meetings with the community and children.”

Yayasan Usaha Mulia (YUM)

Here is a report from the directors and staff of YUM:

“Dear Sisters and Brothers,

In 2022, we slowly came out of the pandemic, and this meant that YUM was once again able to fully open all of our learning facilities and work within bigger groups in the communities. Our work in stunting prevention remains successful in reducing the stunting prevalence, one health post at a time. Throughout the year, we were blessed with generous donations that were vital in the running of various projects that supported more than 22,000 people. Many of you also immediately responded to our earthquake relief efforts in Cipanas, and we are immensely grateful for your support to those affected.
