Dear friends I want to share with you the stories that inspire me every day…
Seven years ago, a shy boy with a curious gaze and a big heart joined Fundación Educarte Homework Clubs. His name was Arturo. He was seven years old, had been diagnosed with Autism and Tourette’s Syndrome, and carried within him a world full of challenges – but also of possibilities that, little by little, began to shine through.
With patience, perseverance, and the support of his family and the Foundation’s team of professionals, Arturo began to make steady progress. At Homework Club, he first developed his academic skills and learned to trust those around him. Later, he joined the Disability Care Clinic, where he strengthened his communication, autonomy, and emotional management.
Today, at 16 years old, Arturo is part of the Life Skills Program – a space designed to prepare adolescents and young people with disabilities for a more independent and fulfilling life. There, Arturo not only continues to learn, but also works enthusiastically at Fundación Educarte’s Bazaar, where he greets customers, helps organize materials, and performs his tasks with great dedication.
“Watching his progress has been truly moving,” shares one of his mentors. “Arturo came to us as a reserved child, with many difficulties expressing himself. Now he communicates more easily, participates joyfully, and is always willing to help. He is a perfect example of how consistent effort and the right support can transform lives.”
Arturo dreams of continuing to learn and having a job in the future. His story is a reminder that inclusion is not just an ideal, but a real opportunity for growth for everyone.
Fundación Educarte celebrates his progress as a shared achievement – the result of Arturo’s effort, his family’s support, and a team that deeply believes in the potential of every person.
Because when doors are opened with empathy and commitment, stories like Arturo’s blossom and remind us that, regardless of our differences, we can all build our own path toward independence and happiness.
