This year, the Community Programme for the support of children with projectable abilities celebrated 31 years of presence in the rural communities of Cajamarca. Countless children and their families have been supported by our coordinators, and most of them have improved their living conditions thanks to the love, teachings and comprehensive therapies we have been able to provide.
Over the years, the Community Programme team has been trained and strengthened, we have learned and adapted our methodologies and strategies, and we have grown as people. But we have also grown a little older.
At the beginning of this year, we received the difficult news that the financial support currently provided by Kindernothilfe e.V. in Germany to sustain our programme will soon come to an end.
As a team, we are taking this news with dignity, calm and confidence; we know the mark we have left and the good we have been able to do for many children and their families.
At our meeting in May, we looked for ways and strategies to round off and complement our work over all these years and to bring it to a successful conclusion in the future. As the head of the Community Programme, I am very proud of our extraordinary team and of the wisdom, maturity, courage and optimism of our rural coordinators in continuing on this path, in different ways, for the good of children with disabilities.
I thank you and embrace you from my heart.
Rita Mocker
Head of the Community Programme
