Abdón Calderón is located in the Manabí region and was hit by an earthquake in April 2016. Our team from Guayaquil provided humanitarian aid in this region, which later led to long-term work. Since December 2016, we have been offering regular creative workshops for children aged 5-15 and counselling for parents in this earthquake-hit region around Abdón Calderón. For the children from this region, the workshops are the only ray of hope in their daily lives marked by poverty.
