Purpose
I first launched this project to support the mental health of children in San Miguelito, providing them with a safe space to unwind and escape the stress of overcrowded living conditions. l've seen firsthand, as a camp counselor, how vital outdoor activities are for emotional well-being, and I wanted to create a place where kids could feel free, play, and connect with others.
This vision aligns with my broader purpose of promoting mental health, which also led me to co-found a psychology club at my school and provide psychological help and speakers for mistreated and abused teenage girls.
By combining these efforts, I aim to inspire lasting change, fostering resilience and emotional strength in both children and teens.

Renovating the Lot
under construction
We discovered an empty lot in an underprivileged community where, for years, locals had been promised a safe space for children to play-but nothing ever came of it. Determined to make that promise a reality, we took on the challenge.
Our first step was cleaning and leveling the lot, creating a safe space where children could gather, fly kites, and enjoy outdoor activities.
Lot Progress
I worked in the impoverished community of San Miguelito, Arnulfo Arias Madrid, transforming an unused lot into a vibrant community space. We cleared the land, built cement stairs with a wheelchair ramp, added tables, guardrails, and decorations. To bring joy to local children, we also donated kites, creating a space where families can gather and kids can play. This project gave the community a much-needed recreational area, fostering pride and connection.
Renovating the abandoned Empty Lot
The mental health club I co-founded focuses on destigmatizing mental illness and creating a safe space for students to share their feelings. We hold regular meetings to discuss emotions, promote kindness with a "kindness wall," and bring in guest speakers to address mental health topics.
I coordinate speakers, approve activities, and serve as a liaison with the school. Our goal is to foster empathy, understanding, and support within the student community.
Mental health Club for students
As part of our psychology club initiative, we arranged for several psychologists and guest speakers to support mistreated girls at the Catholic orphanage, "Hogar La Divina Gracia." These professionals provided a safe space for the girls to share their experiences and receive guidance. We also ensured they had nutritious meals during our visits, fostering an environment where they felt valued and empowered.

PSYCHOLOGIST SPEAKERS
We visited an orphanage that shelters abused and mistreated teenagers, aiming to provide them with emotional support. To do this, we arranged for psychologists to speak with the girls, offering them a safe space to share their experiences and receive guidance.
Through these visits, we not only provided professional help but also brought comfort, care, and hope to these young women, helping them feel valued and supported during a difficult time.

Upcoming projects for the end of the school year
This project has been an incredible journey of transformation and community impact.
By creating a safe and welcoming space for children in San Miguelito, I aimed to address both the physical and emotional needs of a community in need. Through hands-on efforts like building the recreational area and my broader commitment to mental health through initiatives like the psychology club, this project serves as a testament to the power of community-driven action.
It's a space where children can play, families can connect, and emotional well-being is fostered. This project is just the beginning of my ongoing mission to make a positive, lasting difference in the lives of others.
