Every moment counts in children's health!

Chiapas, one of the poorest regions in Mexico, faces significant challenges in providing basic necessities and rights, including healthcare, education, and clean water. The vulnerable population in Chiapas is estimated to be around 822,000, with 8 out of 10 children under the age of 6 living in poverty. Despite representing one third of children in the country, investment for children aged 0 to 5 accounts for only 0.3% of childhood investments, while overall investment in childhood is low, representing 3% of the GDP. This lack of investment in early childhood development in Chiapas has led to high rates of malnutrition and stunted growth among children under five. In education, the coverage rate for children aged 0-2 years is only 6%, while preschool coverage is 74%.

According to the Early Equity Report from OECD 2022, parents who regularly engage their children in back-and-forth conversations help their child's emergent literacy skills, in particular, as well as supporting other development domains. However, disadvantaged children experience less positive home learning environments than advantaged children. Disadvantaged five-year-olds who are resilient have a number of factors in common, pointing to ‘what it takes' to achieve early equity. Resilience in an education context is defined as children or students who are from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds and who achieve high learning outcomes. The most significant early protective factor is the quality of children's home learning environment (positive interactions).

Furthermore, the fact that many families in Chiapas speak indigenous languages poses challenges when accessing information and resources related to early childhood development. The state of public health in Chiapas faces significant challenges, particularly in reaching indigenous and rural populations. To address these issues, the government has implemented various programs and initiatives, such as the "IMSS Bienestar" healthcare system, which provides free or low-cost healthcare services to those who cannot afford private healthcare. 

Despite these efforts, there are still gaps in healthcare access and quality in Chiapas. For instance, almost half of the children aged 0-3 in Chiapas do not have access to Early Childhood Development Centers. This situation highlights the need for further investment and efforts to ensure Early Childhood Development.

To enhance early childhood development in adverse contexts, it is necessary to provide practical guidance to parents so they can have regular positive interactions, like back-and-forth conversations, with their children. In Chiapas, this could be achieved by providing updated training and information on early childhood development to healthcare workers in rural and indigenous communities. Specifically, 3,000 healthcare personnel from IMSS Bienestar, including doctors, nurses, and midwives, will be trained using printed materials, WhatsApp, and pre-loaded talks on a device. These tools would be essential for healthcare personnel to provide adequate support to families with children aged 0-5, particularly in indigenous and rural communities where access to basic necessities is limited.

By providing healthcare personnel with the necessary training and materials for positive interactions to support parents with children under six years old, we can enhance early childhood development in adverse contexts and ensure a better future for children.

Our solution aims to sensitize and inform healthcare personnel in rural and indigenous communities about the importance of the initial five years of a child's life as a time of great opportunity and risk and provide them with tools, materials, and information to support parents and caregivers about early childhood development. We believe that health professionals, such as doctors, nurses, psychologists, and midwives, are considered expert leaders in children's development by families in rural communities, and their legitimacy can be leveraged to provide families with reassurance that they can receive parenting information beyond medical advice.

To achieve this, we will train over 3,000 health agents from IMSS Bienestar (public health system and clinics) in seven regions of Chiapas through a 12-hour training process. We will provide them with updated content and recommendations via WhatsApp, physical materials as support within each rural clinic, and a health community on social networks for healthcare professionals. This approach will ensure that healthcare professionals have access to updated information and tools to help families with children 0-5. 

Additionally, we will establish strategic objectives for each region and raise awareness about developmental milestones, ensuring that healthcare professionals are aware of the specific needs of their community. 

We believe that digital resources can play an essential role in training health professionals to improve their ability to provide information and support caregivers on a range of topics related to early childhood development. Randomized control trials of similar programs have found improvements in parental knowledge and practices, as well as positive outcomes for children, including better cognitive development and school readiness. Therefore, we will use digital resources such as WhatsApp and social networks to provide health professionals with the necessary support and resources to help families with children 0-5.

In conclusion, our solution aims to enhance early childhood development in adverse contexts by providing practical guidance to families from healthcare professionals. We will do this by sensitizing and informing healthcare personnel who treat infants and young children in vulnerable areas about the importance of early years, as well as educating parents, caregivers, and mothers about this crucial period. By providing healthcare professionals with updated information and tools, we aim to ensure that families with children 0-5 in rural and indigenous communities in Chiapas have access to the necessary support to ensure healthy early childhood development.

We already have the graphic materials and information regarding the topic that will be taught by the doctors, nurses, and midwives. The WhatsApp content are currently being developed.

Our initiative aims to reach out to seven regions in Chiapas, where indigenous people living in poverty lack access to adequate healthcare and education. Our primary focus is to provide attention to children in these regions and educate their caregivers on the importance of the first six years of brain development, both physically and emotionally.

The regions we plan to target are Altos, Centro, Fronteriza, Norte, Selva, Sierra, and Soconusco. These regions have a combined population of approximately 5 million people, and unfortunately, many of them lack basic healthcare services.

To implement our initiative, we aim to work with a total of 493 doctors, 1021 nurses, and 2776 midwives. In Chiapas, midwives have local leadership and community credibility. We believe that this diverse team of healthcare professionals will allow us to provide comprehensive care to children in these regions.

Our initiative will be conducted in Spanish, the primary language spoken in Chiapas. However, we will also provide translations for those who may not speak the language. We believe that providing healthcare education and services in the local language will help us better understand the unique needs of the community and build trust.

Our primary focus is to provide children with the necessary support to promote healthy brain development. We will provide information to parents, caregivers, and healthcare professionals on how to identify developmental delays and provide the necessary interventions to address them. We will also provide access to resources that can help parents and caregivers promote healthy brain development at home.

We understand that our initiative is just a small step towards addressing the healthcare needs of the people of Chiapas. However, we believe that by working together, we can make a significant impact in the lives of children in these regions. We hope that our initiative will inspire others to take action and work towards improving healthcare access and education for vulnerable communities around the world.

In conclusion, our initiative aims to provide Early Childhood Development training to healthcare personnel so they can use it and share it with parents and caregivers in seven regions in Chiapas. We plan to work with a diverse team of healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive care and education on the importance of healthy brain development and hygiene practices. What we achieve and learn will undoubtedly be important to scale up in other regions of the country later on.

Fundación Televisa is a non-profit organization with extensive experience working with state government health agencies and providing educational campaigns through traditional and digital media to improve attitudes and knowledge on social subjects. The foundation has a proven track record of success in this field and is ready to take on any challenge.

The foundation's previous work with state government health agencies has provided it with valuable experience and expertise in responding to their needs. This experience has enabled the foundation to develop a deep understanding of the health issues facing communities in different parts of the country and how to address them effectively. The foundation's team of experts is committed to working closely with state government health agencies to ensure that their needs are met and that their goals are achieved.

One of the key strengths of the foundation is its ability to use both traditional and digital media to reach targeted audiences and improve their knowledge and attitudes on social subjects. The foundation has a vast network of media outlets and partners that it can leverage to ensure that its messages reach the intended audience. The foundation's educational campaigns have had a significant impact on communities, with evaluation studies showing positive changes in parenting behavior among families who participated in the programs.

In addition to its work with state government health agencies, the foundation has experience working with other public sectors, such as public education. The foundation has implemented a rural education outreach program in indigenous Mazahuas areas in the state of Mexico, which has been highly successful. This program has provided the foundation with valuable experience in working with underserved communities and tailoring its interventions to meet their specific needs.  

The foundation's partnerships with key players in the public health sector, such as IMSS and the public health ministry, have also been crucial to its success. These partnerships have allowed the foundation to leverage the expertise and resources of these organizations to provide training and other services to communities in need.

Fundación Televisa's lead is well-prepared to carry out any project, whether in the field or virtually. Only this year, this program Empieza Temprano from Fundación Televisa, worked with 5 government education departments in 5 different states and federal, to deliver face to face workshops for 5,700 families, face to face trainings for 600 teachers, and digital training for more than 4,500 teachers.

In summary, Fundación Televisa is a highly experienced and effective non-profit organization that has a proven track record of success in working with state government health agencies and providing educational campaigns through traditional and digital media to improve attitudes and knowledge on social subjects. The foundation's partnerships with key players in the public health sector and its experience working with underserved communities make it an ideal partner for any project aimed at improving health outcomes and promoting positive behavior change

We have been working with IMSS Bienestar (a Mexican government agency responsible for providing healthcare services to vulnerable populations). As part of our organization's mission to improve healthcare access in rural areas, we will be conducting field visits to these communities next month. Simultaneously, we will be signing an agreement with IMSS Bienestar. This agreement will enable us to collaborate with IMSS Bienestar in the implementation of our program with their support.

To ensure that our program is tailored to the specific needs of each community, we will be conducting a survey among health agents who work in these areas. The survey will gather information about the health needs of the population, the challenges that health agents face in delivering care, and the resources that are available to them. This information will help us design a program that is responsive to the needs of both health agents and the communities they serve.

To test the effectiveness of our program, we will be piloting it with the ABC Hospital Foundation. The foundation is a well-respected healthcare organization that has a strong presence in rural areas. By partnering with the foundation, we will be able to leverage their expertise and resources to ensure the success of our pilot program.

Overall, we are confident that our program will make a significant impact on healthcare access in rural areas. By working with IMSS Bienestar and the ABC Hospital Foundation, we believe that we can create a sustainable model for delivering high-quality healthcare to underserved communities around the country.

Our program has reached 150,000 families and early childhood education professionals aged 0-6 years in the public sector. With this experience and the good results we have achieved, we want to implement this solution by working on the needs of the public health sector."

One of the most pressing issues in the region is the high level of poverty among children under the age of six, which can have a significant impact on their physical and cognitive development.

To address our goals, we will provide these healthcare professionals with the tools, materials, and information they need to effectively support parents, caregivers, and mothers during this critical period and we think we can meet and learn from a community of practice where other peers can share with us how they are solving similar challenges. 

In our Theory of Change we have decided to evaluate everything we do, so we can learn and do it better. We are wondering to obtain ideas and strategies to monitor and evaluate the impact of this project and we think SOLVE can help us a lot in this goal. 

One of the key components of our solution is to establish strategic objectives for each region, taking into account the unique needs and challenges of each community. For example, in some areas, the main challenge may be a lack of access to healthcare services, while in others, the primary barrier may be a lack of knowledge among parents and caregivers about the importance of early childhood development. By tailoring our approach to the specific needs of each community, we can ensure that our solution is as effective as possible.

Another critical aspect of our solution is to raise awareness about developmental milestones, both among healthcare professionals and the wider community. Many parents and caregivers may not be aware of the key developmental milestones that their children should be reaching at different ages. By providing information and resources on these milestones, we can help parents and caregivers identify any potential developmental delays and seek appropriate support.

Finally, we recognize that language can be a significant barrier in many indigenous communities in Chiapas. To ensure that our solution is accessible to as many people as possible, we will provide information in both Spanish and the indigenous language spoken in each community. By doing so, we can ensure that our messages are understood and can be acted upon.

In summary, our solution aims to address the significant challenges faced by vulnerable communities in Chiapas by providing education, tools, and resources to healthcare professionals, parents, caregivers, and mothers.

We aim to sensitize, inform, and equip healthcare professionals with tools to help families consciously provide positive and frequent interactions with their children aged 0-6 years old.

We believe that health professionals, such as doctors, nurses, psychologists, and midwives, are considered expert leaders in children's development by families in rural communities. It is essential to leverage their legitimacy to provide families with reassurance that when visiting the rural clinic or hospital, they can receive parenting information beyond medical advice. Specifically, we want them to understand how positive interactions (serve and return) in their daily lives can improve their children's development and why it is crucial to do so systematically. We expect these conversations to happen informally and regularly as part of their medical routine.

To achieve this, we will train over 3,000 health agents in seven regions of Chiapas through a 12-hour training process. We will provide them with updated content and recommendations via WhatsApp, physical materials as support within each rural clinic, and a health community on social networks for healthcare professionals.

In Mexico, the focus on positive interactions is usually assigned to educational personnel rather than healthcare professionals. Our curriculum approach is innovative as it provides healthcare professionals with a humanistic approach that emphasizes a respectful, sensitive, and non-judgmental treatment of families.

It is vital to us that healthcare professionals approach families as the experts on their children, and that they, as healthcare professionals, see themselves as agents of change who can connect with families to offer new ways of interacting when changing diapers, bathing their children, during mealtimes, playtime, or putting them to sleep (our philosophy is that every moment counts). Our curriculum promotes a positive interactions approach (back and forth) supported by the most recent scientific evidence, with a focus on the daily lives of families, with over 1,000 tips. We provide physical materials such as posters and utilize technology such as WhatsApp and social networks to create a community of practice. We will offer tips, infographics, and invitations to webinars to provide continuity, reinforcement, and impact to their learning, helping them to integrate it into their daily processes (habits). 

The emotional and physical development of children in the first six years of life is crucial for their future. That's why we believe that, through patience, love, and guidance, we can achieve optimal development during this critical stage of life. To make this vision a reality, we propose a solution that provides the necessary tools to achieve this goal, working in partnership with trained individuals in these communities.

This solution would focus on providing comprehensive education to parents and caregivers on early childhood development, including information on proper nutrition, early stimulation, and the importance of affection and social interaction. In addition, resources and tools would be provided for parents and caregivers to implement this knowledge in the child's daily life.

In collaboration with trained individuals in these communities, such as social workers, pediatricians, and educators, programs would be established to provide support and guidance to parents and caregivers. These programs could also include regular home visits to monitor the child's progress and provide feedback and additional support.

It would also be important to establish community support networks for parents and caregivers, as raising a child can be challenging and lonely at times. Through these networks, parents and caregivers could connect with others facing similar challenges and receive support and advice from their peers and experts in the field.

In summary, we believe that our solution could make a significant difference in the lives of children by providing the tools, knowledge, and support necessary to achieve optimal emotional and physical development in the first six years of life. By working in partnership with trained individuals in these communities and establishing community support networks, we can help parents and caregivers provide the best possible start for their children.

As an experienced organization committed to improving the quality of life of children and families, we have developed a range of evaluation tools and methods to measure the impact of our initiatives in the community. We recognize that a comprehensive approach to evaluation is necessary to assess the effectiveness of our programs in the short, medium, and long term, as well as to identify areas for improvement.

One of the evaluation tools we have utilized is social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram to conduct surveys before and after our programs. These surveys help us understand people's prior knowledge about positive parenting and child interactions in children aged 0 to 3 years. We can then measure the change in knowledge and skills after our program has been implemented, providing us with valuable insights into the effectiveness of our approach.

In addition to social media surveys, we have also had meetings and approaches with the community to assess the acceptance and effectiveness of the information we have provided. These meetings provide us with a platform to receive feedback from community members, and to identify areas for improvement.

Furthermore, we recognize that it is important to measure the impact of our initiatives in relation to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Goal 3: Good Health and Well-being is particularly relevant to our work, as we seek to measure the impact on infant health, cognitive and socioemotional development of children, and reduction of infant mortality. Through our evaluation tools and methods, we have been able to track progress in these areas and identify areas for improvement.

Another goal that is relevant to our work is Goal 5: Gender Equality. We seek to measure the impact on gender equity in access and participation in child care and training, and the promotion of positive and non-discriminatory parental roles. Through our programs, we strive to promote gender equity and encourage positive parental roles, thereby contributing to the achievement of Goal 5.

In conclusion, as an organization committed to improving the quality of life of children and families, we recognize the importance of utilizing a range of evaluation tools and methods to measure the impact of our initiatives. We have found that social media surveys and community meetings are effective ways to assess the effectiveness of our approach. Additionally, we are committed to contributing to the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly Goals 3 and 5, and will continue to monitor our progress in these areas.

Our theory of change aims to improve the development of all girls and boys in early childhood in Mexico (desired state). To achieve this, we rely on three pillars to reach 12 million caregivers of young children: television (91% reach), social media (72% reach), and direct training for 3 million families who require more personalized attention. 

Our hypothesis is that we can improve the environments where children grow and develop by promoting positive and frequent interactions (serve and return) with the adults in their environments (indirect output) through a multiplier approach with three key agents: educational, health, and social agents (direct output). 

1. Increase awareness of the importance of the first years of life (short-term). 

2. Understand what positive interactions are, why they are valuable, and how to put them into practice (short-term). 

3. Integrate guidelines that inform, sensitize, and strengthen positive interactions (multiplying effect) into their processes and daily practice, to be communicated to families (indirect output - medium-term). 

In the specific case of this project, we consider it crucial for healthcare personnel, especially in disadvantaged contexts, to become aware, knowledgeable, and proficient in valuable advice on positive and frequent interactions that can promote early childhood development (ECD). This will enable them to integrate it into their daily practice and communicate it to families - in the hallways, while taking the baby's temperature, during consultations, while talking to people, and in other ways. In the long term, this will encourage families to consciously adjust or strengthen positive interactions with their children in a frequent manner, thereby creating positive environments for their growth and development. 

Our theory of change involves the following strategy: 

• Activities: 

o In-person and online training workshop with a respectful and awareness-based approach to health personnel about respectful treatment and information on early childhood with practical advice based on science. 

 o Informational materials on WhatsApp to keep the importance of positive and frequent interactions that families can have in mind (change of habits). 

 o A social network (possibly FB) aimed solely at this group to exchange best practices and information. 

• Outputs: 

o Health personnel (doctor, nurse, midwife, nutritionist, psychologist) have tools, concrete examples, and practical advice appropriate to the daily lives of the families they serve. 

• Short-term outcomes 

o Health personnel are sensitized and informed about the importance of positive and frequent interactions for the development of each baby and child. 

• Long-term outcomes 

o Families are aware, knowledgeable, and, above all, apply positive and frequent interactions in their daily lives to promote the development of their children. 

The issue of early childhood development is a critical concern that requires urgent attention. The first few years of a child's life are crucial in shaping their physical, emotional, and cognitive development. Neglecting this critical period could have significant long-term effects on the child's future prospects and well-being. It is, therefore, essential to provide parents and caregivers with information and resources that can help them support their child's development.

To address this issue, we have developed a strategy that leverages technology to provide parents and caregivers with valuable information and resources that can support early childhood development. The strategy involves using WhatsApp messages to deliver tips and activities that can be done at any time of the day. These messages will provide parents and caregivers with practical ideas that can help them create a nurturing environment for their children.

In rural and indigenous areas where internet access is limited, we will provide information through a USB device. This device will contain resources on physical and emotional development during early childhood, which will be distributed through social workers and medical professionals in each of the seven communities. This approach ensures that even those without access to the internet can still benefit from the information and resources we are providing.

We recognize that providing information and resources alone may not be sufficient to support early childhood development. Parents and caregivers may also need support and guidance on how to implement these ideas effectively. To address this, we will work with social workers and medical professionals in each of the seven communities to provide coaching and support to parents and caregivers. This approach will ensure that parents and caregivers have access to the guidance they need to implement the ideas effectively.

In conclusion, our strategy leverages technology to provide parents and caregivers with valuable information and resources that can support early childhood development. Through WhatsApp messages and USB devices, we aim to provide practical ideas that can help parents and caregivers create a nurturing environment for their children. By working with social workers and medical professionals in each of the seven communities, we can provide the necessary support and guidance to ensure that parents and caregivers can implement these ideas effectively

Just like the MIT statement, our project aims to respect and value the cultural diversity of communities, promote equitable participation of all individuals, and create an environment of inclusion and respect. Both focus on ensuring that everyone has access to opportunities and resources and address any inequalities that may exist to create an equitable environment. For our project, it is essential to maintain a respectful environment where everyone can contribute and achieve their full potential regardless of their background, identity, or culture. 

1. Understanding the cultural needs and realities of the community in the Chiapas regions related to positive parenting aspects and frequent positive interactions between adults and children aged 0-3 years. 

2. Our experience has led us to work with community leaders and individuals from the region to ensure that the training is culturally relevant and appropriate for the Chiapas community. 

3. We use participatory pedagogical approaches to ensure that all our actions are inclusive and equitable and encourage the community to engage in the learning process. 

4. We respect and value the traditional cultural beliefs and child-care practices of the community to identify ways to adapt positive parenting practices to their culture and context. 

Mexico faces a significant deficiency in its healthcare sector when it comes to addressing the needs of early childhood. This issue is of paramount importance, as the early years of a child's life are crucial in shaping their future health and wellbeing.

Children who receive inadequate care during their early years are more likely to experience developmental delays, poor academic performance, and behavioral problems. Furthermore, children who do not receive proper care early on are at a higher risk of developing chronic diseases later in life, such as diabetes and heart disease.

There are several factors contributing to this deficiency in the healthcare sector in Mexico. One significant factor is the lack of access to healthcare facilities and professionals in rural areas, where many families live in poverty. This makes it challenging for families to access healthcare services, particularly for those who cannot afford to travel to urban areas.

Another factor is the lack of awareness among parents about the importance of early childhood development. Many parents may not understand the critical role that proper nutrition, regular check-ups, and early intervention can play in their child's overall health and wellbeing.

To address this issue, several initiatives have been implemented in Mexico in recent years. The Mexican government has launched programs to increase access to healthcare services in rural areas, such as the creation of mobile health clinics and community health centers. These initiatives aim to provide families in remote areas with access to critical healthcare services.

In addition, efforts have been made to increase awareness among parents about the importance of early childhood development. Educational campaigns have been launched to provide parents with information about the importance of proper nutrition, regular check-ups, and early intervention. These campaigns aim to empower parents to take an active role in their child's health and wellbeing.

Despite these efforts, more needs to be done to address the deficiency in the healthcare sector regarding early childhood development in Mexico. The government must continue to prioritize initiatives that improve access to healthcare services in rural areas and promote awareness among parents about the importance of early childhood development.

Furthermore, there is a need for increased investment in research and data collection to better understand the specific challenges faced by families in different regions of Mexico. This will enable policymakers to develop targeted interventions that address the unique needs of each community.

In conclusion, the deficiency in the healthcare sector regarding early childhood development is a significant issue in Mexico that requires urgent attention. Efforts must be made to improve access to healthcare services, increase awareness among parents, and invest in research to develop targeted interventions that address the unique needs of each community. By prioritizing early childhood development, Mexico can ensure that its children have the best possible start in life, setting them on a path towards a healthier and more prosperous future.

In our conversations with other organizations and governments, we have identified that this project of direct care for medical personnel with a focus on back-and-forth conversations to IMSS-Bienestar clinics is unparalleled. Therefore, we believe that once completed, and if the results support us, we could find various allies interested in supporting in many ways the cause.

At this moment, we have a financing fund that enables us to carry out our mission to educate and raise awareness about the importance of early childhood development. In addition to this, we have established partnerships with allies who support us in various ways, including providing content and facilitating workshops.

Our financing fund is crucial to our organization's success. It allows us to develop and implement programs and initiatives that focus on early childhood development. With this fund, we can create educational materials, hold events and workshops, and support research on this important topic. This financial support is vital as it enables us to reach out to our target audience and make a significant impact in their lives.

Our allies also play an essential role in our efforts. They provide us with valuable content that enhances the quality and relevance of our educational materials. This content can take many forms, including research reports, case studies, and best practices. By partnering with these experts, we can ensure that our work is grounded in the latest knowledge and insights in the field of early childhood development.

Another critical role our allies play is in facilitating workshops and events. We work with a range of facilitators who have expertise in various aspects of early childhood development. These professionals help us to design and deliver engaging and informative workshops that resonate with our target audience. Through these events, we can reach out to parents, caregivers, educators, and policymakers, among others, and provide them with the information and tools they need to support children's healthy development.

Together, our financing fund and our allies enable us to carry out our mission to educate and raise awareness about the importance of early childhood development. We are committed to providing high-quality educational materials and programs that empower people to make informed decisions about children's well-being. We believe that investing in early childhood development is one of the best ways to promote social and economic progress, and we are proud to be at the forefront of this important work.

In conclusion, we are grateful for the support of our financing fund and our allies. Without their contributions, we would not be able to make the impact we do in the lives of children and families. We remain committed to working collaboratively with our partners to advance the cause of early childhood development and create a brighter future for all.

For the past three years, we have had the privilege of having an ally who has been supporting our mission with exceptional content and valuable resources. In addition to this ally, we have another partner who has been supporting us for one year with equal enthusiasm and dedication. We are incredibly grateful for the contributions and support of both of these allies, as they have been instrumental in helping us achieve our goals.

Furthermore, we are proud to say that we have a longstanding relationship with a foundation that has been a pivotal force behind our organization for the past 14 years. This foundation has been a constant source of support and inspiration, providing us with essential resources that have enabled us to grow and thrive.

Our partnership with these allies and foundation is a testament to the power of collaboration and the importance of building strong relationships. We understand that we cannot achieve our goals alone, and it is through the generosity and support of our allies that we have been able to make a meaningful impact in our community.

We are committed to nurturing these relationships and continuing to work together to create positive change. We believe that by leveraging our collective strengths and resources, we can make a lasting impact on our community and beyond.

In conclusion, we are grateful for the ongoing support of our allies and foundation, and we look forward to continuing our journey together. We are confident that with their help, we can achieve great things and make a significant difference in the world.
