During the month of August, Fundación Tropicalia, with the support of Fundación Orange, hosted the last session of the “I’m a Girl, I Matter” summer camp for the girls of La Gina ages 10-15. As mentioned last month, the camp brings nutrition, self-esteem, sex education, career development and personal growth workshops to 100 girls in a fun, safe and supportive environment. During this last session Katia Núñez, Human Resources Manager for the Cisneros Group in the Dominican Republic, shared her own personal story of how she overcame life’s hurdles to get where she is today. Without a doubt the girls who attended were not only inspired, but also created unforgettable memories.

In commemoration of International Day of the Girl, we organized a film forum featuring the movie Ramona at the Miches City Hall to talk about children's rights. Students from the Padre Daniel High School, local authorities, colleagues from the National Council for Children and Adolescents (CONANI), and presidents of the neighborhood councils attended the forum.
Raising funds for Girls' summer camp
During the months of July and August, Fundación Tropicalia will hold "I'm a Girl, I'm important", a summer camp aimed at girls aged 9-12 years, whose purpose is to promote a fun, safe and educational space, where they learn their rights and can exercise their role of being girls.
