The opening of “Las Lucitas del futuro”

We have some fantastic news,  the nursery in Loma Grande has now opened!

“Las Lucitas del Futuro” nursery opened on Monday 12th July 2010 and is now providing care for up to 21 children aged from birth to 6 years of age.  We are able to employ 3 women from the community to work in the nursery, 2 caring for the children and one cook.   The children come to the nursery at 7.00am and are then picked up by their parents at 4.00pm.  This provision allows the parents to go to work in the fields in the knowledge their children are safe and looked after.

In addition, we are able to access some support for the workers of the nursery, they are committed to developing their personal and professional skills by attending training sessions from external providers.  This also is a fantastic opportunity for them to grow and develop.

The Team!

We really hope this nursery goes from strength to strength.  It will offer a safe environment for the children to learn, develop and grow in all aspects of their lives.  Thank you to all those in Loma Grande who showed a committment to this project and to their own community. A particular thanks to J2 and Mirian who have helped make this possible.
