🏢 About the local organisation

Community Center (Saturdays) is one of the projects of the House of Hope. It is a project with the focus to be involved with all the children and youth of La Pintana and be a recreational time where they may discover and develop their artistic, language, and academic skills. The children receive protection from El Hogar. This project provides workshops in music and crafts. Also, it is a time for tutoring on English and math reinforcing what they learn in class and clarifying any doubts, helping them in anything that is needed for them to be successful in their classes. It is also provided a lunch meal. It is a way to share the gospel to the children and youth letting them know that God cares for them.

House of Hope provides an opportunity for the children and youth of La Pintana to have a recreational time as well as develop their artistic, academic, and language skills. It is scheduled from 10am to 3pm on Saturdays. There are different workshops where children get to choose each Saturday to explore and develop a sense of belong with the community as well as choosing which is the workshop that fits best for them according to their interests. There are workshops in crafts and musical instruments such as piano, guitar, bass, and drums. On the other hand, they have tutoring in math and English for the kids and teenagers who need help in reinforcing or clarifying doubts. All these are taking place at the same time and it is a perfect time to share Jesus’ love by teaching, assisting, or encouraging them. At the end, a lunch is given to the children and it is a wonderful fellowship time of peace.
