In order to multiply their impact and reach
more vulnerable young people and adolescents in the United States (starting with Florida), both organizations are joining
forces for the common good.
MIAMI, June 20,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Ismael Cala Foundation and
the Acevedo Foundation announced a strategic alliance that will
allow them to multiply their impact and reach more than a thousand
vulnerable young people and adolescents, initially in the state of
Florida. This alliance will
benefit a total of 5 education centers by training 30 facilitators
in leadership and emotional intelligence.
Convinced of the need to work together for the common good and
the ultimate goal, both organizations will combine their efforts
and intentions for a world that is better prepared in terms of
educational issues, with a focus on leadership and emotional
intelligence.
The model for training young people with emotional intelligence
tools adopted by this alliance is based on the training of
educators. The first implementation phase of the program will
focus on training 30 educators by the end of this year, who will be
responsible for taking the program to the five education centers in
Florida, each of which has 200
students.
As the first fundraising activity, both organizations are
preparing for the Legacy of Light Gala, which is to be
held in the city of Miami on
September 7 and will be attended by
Puerto Rican singer Olga Tañón.
In the words of Jenisbel Acevedo, President of the Acevedo
Foundation, "it is important for us to give back a little of what
we have received. So many people have trusted us with their health
and helped us grow as a company - La Colonia Medical Center! This
has helped us become the medical institution we are today. If, with
the resources generated by that business (which has given us so
much happiness and satisfaction), I can give a little joy to people
in need, how could I not?"
For his part, communicator and life strategist Ismael Cala said: "This is a powerful alliance.
We are more than blessed here; to leave a mark, a legacy, combining
our wills, because together we are more. Thanks to this union of
wills, we will do good for many, many children, young people,
mothers, fathers, in short, for vulnerable people through the
realization of this shared dream."
So far, the Ismael Cala Foundation has trained 161 educators and
benefited more than 3,000 children in Guatemala, Nicaragua, Colombia, the United
States and Venezuela.
