ASART (Asociacion Artistica para Niños), a nonprofit organization that provides free art lessons to children of low resources (theater, music, dance, fine arts). Our vision is to build a new peace culture in Central America. We created the program to instill in them the sense of pride, discipline, self esteem, creativity and team work necessaries to confront the adversities of their present development.
The program started with three volunteer teachers with a main goal: free art classes to sexually abused children in three PANI shelters in Desamparados, San Jose, Costa Rica. They brought art to more than 60 children in the first three weeks. Today we work in Schools and Shelter in Costa Rica and Nicaragua. Our most precious tools are volunteers. Through their knowledge we are able to build community development programs all around both of the above mentioned countries. So we are not only working for children, but also for young adults. Through our monthly trainings we make a call to stop violence in their homes.
In November 2003 we finally got our NGO-ID (Cedula Jurídica) # 3-002-358490 and that s how we became legally registered as nonprofit organization with headquarters in San Jose.
Through the years we have been capable to attract a great quantity of volunteers through university programs, reports, announcements and word of mouth. The classes to the children are given in spaces provided by the shelters of PANI and schools since July 2002. These students owe from 150 to 300 hours of community work to be able to graduate. So we profit from this resource and train them with our skills to send them to different institutions around the country, depending where they live and on their availability. Our volunteers are from universities such as FIDELITAS, U Diseño, U Central, Florencio del Castillo, Interamericana, UNIBE, UCR, U Nacional, etc. Thanks to all of them we are able to take the program not only to children in PANI shelters but also to children of the streets and children belonging to marginal schools in areas such as San Juan de Pavas, Los Anonos (Escazu), Rio Azul, Fatima (Cartago), and others.
I thank you for your help and your donation, many children will become leaders becouse of you...
