Back to the classrooms: As school started again in February, the Fundacion had to change its way of working. For the past two years, the teachers had been forced to adapt the rooms into classrooms for the teaching of the four main subjects (language and literature, maths, social and natural sciences) due to the lack of technical equipment which then was necessary for our children.

As schools reopened, we focused again on support with homework and other school issues, as in the years before, but with some improvements. Opening hours have been changed and there is an additional new room for the children, which means there now are less children per classroom, thus enabling a more individual care.

A not so easy year is coming to an end. We thank everyone for the important support so that the children and young people of the Fundacíon Minadores de Sueños can continue to realize their dreams.

With impressions of the Christmas party in the Fundacíon
we wish you all a Happy New Year!

During this pandemic we realised that despite the good or bad education we have received in life, we went about our activities in a reckless manner, crowding together, eating junk food, touching surfaces without washing our hands, coughing and sneezing without consideration for the person next to us. We learned that the wealth and power of countries in the world is not enough to protect against new pathogens, and that bad interventions by governments can have dire consequences on the population. We learned to miss the tireless hours of face-to-face classes, the hours of work, in short, to miss our routine. We learned to value our loved ones when before we were fed up with so many hugs and kisses, and that in case one of them was admitted to hospital, it was better to say goodbye in time than never to say goodbye at all, since they would be returned to us in ashes. And this is when everything around us discovers its value; the importance of the here and now.
