 THE OTHER WAYS
|

 |
Twice a day on Tuesdays and Thursdays the CEDEINFA team visits each of the three communities to help the children with their school work. Working as facilitators, the CEDEINFA team serves as a bridge between the children and their progress in the public schools. The facilitators help the children in math, reading and comprehension, and language skills. For those children not currently in school the facilitators provide these children with the educational assistance they need to pass the required academic tests to be promoted to the next grade. |

COMMUNITY RESTAURANTS |
Dos Twice a week (Mondays and Fridays) CEDEINFA provides community meals for the children who live lin three high-risk, poor communities. This program pro  vides a balanced diet to meet the nutritional needs of the children. Volunteer cooks prepare the meals for more than 2,000 children. They also pack the food and make the three-to-four block walk to and carry the meals to each community In many cases these two meals are the only nutritional meals these children will get during the week. |
 Medical Brigades: In 2004 CEDEINFA took its first steps toward meeting the medical needs of the children and their mothers in these communities by sponsoring a series of medical brigades (medical outreach projects) in the poorest marginal zones of San Salvador.

| INTERNATIONAL SPONSORSHIP |
 CEDEINFA currently has more than 300 children participating in its educational program. Many of these children cannot afford to buy the school uniforms and supplies they need to do well in school. Committed individuals from around the world have made a commitment to sponsor a child and provide monthly donations to child financial needs such as school supplies, school uniforms, medicine and food. CEDEINFA´s goal is for each child to have five sponsors However, there are many child ren in the program who still do not have their first sponsor. Each sponsor signs a commitment form agreeing to do one or more of the following:
* Supporting the child with a contribution of $15 (USD) monthly
* Sending a partial contribution of $________ for Christmas and birthday
* Praying for the child and his/her family
In return, CEDEINFA is responsible for:
1. Providing for the child through educational, nutritional, psychological and medical programs
2. Providing the sponsor with regular updates on the child’s progress toward complete behavioral educational, physical and mental development
Many children need a sponsor. If you are interested in sponsoring a child, please e-mail at cedeinfa@yahoo.com |

| HOUSES VISITS |
The families who live in these three poor communities suffer from many psychological, social, medical, educational problems. However, the level of their suffering varies from family to family. Therefore, the CEDEINFA counselors make weekly visits to each family’s home. During each home visit, the counselsors spend quality time talking with the child and his/her family to determine their specific needs and prayer requests. As a result of these w  eekly home visits, the CEDEINFA staff can distributed donated items especially tailored to meet each family’s specific needs. In situations in which a family is in the midst of a major crisis (i.e., a rape or serious legal problems), a volunteer psychologist is available to meet with the family. This volunter makes approximately 8-10 home visits per week with case load of anywhere from 6 -18 families. The psychologist makes regular reports to the CEDEINFA director and works as a liason between the family and the government’s various social service agencies. |
