Go and see by yourself
Make do with
the resources you have
Teamwork and organization
are the keys
to bring things about
We are a young organization as our name says, we have a different concept
about volunteering and social responsibility; the motor that moves us every day
is education, but the first three steeps before are the origin of everything.
The founders have had the great chance to have a scholarship that prepared
them, but the world does not stop and is the same for everyone and looking
around every day a child does no learn the necessary things at school for many
factors, may be they do not have books, the school is overpopulated and they
could not study or they are getting sick because of the cleanness.
But how do we know about it? We went and saw it by ourselves, we asked
people, and gather information about the necessity they have, and asked for
opinions too, to make positive things happen.
After we go and check what we have available to help them, where we can
get the things we do not have and how we will make things work in a short time.
When we have everything the most important part comes, volunteers are there
to bring things about, they are trained to show their skills under a well prepared
plan where everyone is an important piece of this life changing puzzle.
This describes the steps we take, and how we will become in a model of a NGO
in pro of education.

3. Our projects
Young Sun projects are basically about improving the quality of
education; moreover we get in touch with the people in need by giving
them the resources they need here are some pictures describing what
we do:
Children enjoy being in a
really clean and colorful
space, that stimulates them
to stay at school, to play
and also it stimulates their
senses.
Spend quality time and
have fun while we are
teaching them how to
work in group and some
basic techniques that will
help them up in their
future, moreover some of
our alliances have special
programs.

Young Sun does not have competitors, as a NGO our philosophy is teamwork, and
we are always looking for the way to have great partners in this journey of
improving education in El Salvador.
Some of our most important alliances are:
This is a very important collaborator that
begun as a little volunteering program, but
now days it has more than one hundred
volunteers that are always supporting our
projects.
This is the one we work prototypes
with, new and creative ideas are
the ones that call youth attention,
at the same time we gather with
people with experience in many
areas specially education.
This is a private Enterprise that
donates new shoes for children
that need them, at the same time
they go to the schools, we help
them with logistic and do some
extra work at the schools.

5. WE BELIEVE IN VOLUNTEERING
Volunteering is an action in which we want to growth
as a person as well as being a way to give back to the
society in which we belong, we can give a little bit of
what we have received, as in the case of many people
regardless, the quality of the education we receive is
not the best obviously is the most important … to have
more aspirations for the future and when you already
have the opportunity to be part of a group of people
who truly appreciate what they have received as well
know and see through the contributions generated ago
positive and are aware that the real way to see a
country grow is through quality education impact,
when a person engages in volunteer activities not only
help people in need but also develop a great r social
skills and create new and strong friendships with very
similar and committed people.
