Progress

We got a new logo to reflect the next evolution of our program. I wanted to share it with you since it explains a lot of what I do and how it evolved.

First we were Impacto Juvenil and we served teens. We made clubs of 25 kids, and taught them lots of good stuff. But soon we realized that no matter how much we brought to the table, it wasn't as effective if the parent weren't on board. It needed to be reinforced at home.

So Strong Families (Familias Fuertes) was born. We worked with the parents, teaching them communication skills and how to discipline with love. But the more time we spent within the families, the more we realized that many, many women were really struggling. Many were being abused.

That's how Strong Mothers (Madres Fuertes) came about.

Now that we are moving into Los Pinos with all of these programs already in place as well as other programs from other sectors of the organization, we are implementing an all inclusive program called Strong Communities (Comunidades Fuertes).

This is our new logo, which we saw for the first time today. I am so excited to be a part of this stuff!
