Education

In the Tahuayo region, the new school year begins at the end of March. In April, Dolly, the Executive Director of Angels, visited the communities to distribute school supplies, conduct home visits with students in our high achievers program, meet with teachers, install new computers, and host a fun Earth Day event.

Thanks to our generous donors this year, we were able to provide school supplies to students attending schools in the communities of Buena Vista, Esperanza, San Carlos, and El Chino. Additionally, students from Canaan who attend Esperanza High School also received supplies. Our partner, the Kick It Forward Foundation, provided new P.E. uniforms for the students and assisted them in celebrating Earth Day by decorating their school with flowers. Kick It Forward also donated two computers to the computer lab at Jane Gordon Cook School. As a result of this generous donation, the government has allocated funding for Jane Gordon Cook School to hire additional computer science and math teachers.

Healthcare

The food season began in February this year. During this time, there is an increase in patients at the Angels of the Amazon Hospital, which serves as the regional health center for 17 communities. Thanks to your generous donations, AoA can maintain a fully stocked pharmacy and provide 24/7 patient care in this remote region. This year, we are pleased to welcome a new pharmacist, Danixa. Danixa grew up in El Chino and is excited to serve her community.
During flood season, children often suffer from respiratory infections. The medical staff has been visiting communities to provide healthcare education and preventative treatments.
Additionally, our nursery received donations of newborn clothes and baby blankets, which will be given to new mothers during these colder months. Our next healthcare fundraiser will take place in June to raise funds for staff, medical supplies, and equipment.
