Who we are ?
We’re a kids center providing children in elementary school with tools and resources they need to improve their learning skills as a basis for a good and integral development.

Mission:
To counter and fight against social inequality motivating people to take their destiny in their own hands, stimulating the optimum development of their mind. Provide a safe space to visit, where people can talk about their needs, seek advice and help. This will make a positive impact in the district of Shangrilá.

Responsible in charge of the project:
Ernst Woelcke – President of the German Mennonite Conference of Uruguay
Jonathan Marroquín – Atrévete a Soñar Coordinator

Headmistress of Atrévete a soñar
Christa Penner.
