Today, December 3rd is the International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD)! This important day is celebrated around the world to help promote the rights of individuals with disabilities so that they can grow and thrive within a more inclusive, equitable, and accessible society.
Universal Children’s Day is November 20!
November 20 is an important day: Universal Children’s Day is celebrated as the anniversary of the day the UN General Assembly created the Universal Declaration of the Rights of the Child in 1959. It also marks the same date 30 years later in 1989 when the UN General Assembly adopted the Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) – the most universally accepted human rights treaty. 194 countries have signed up for the UNCRC, meaning that they are bound by law to implement it!

Realized Efforts in Cochabamba: September – December 2018
We recently concluded our time in Cochabamba, Bolivia and have set out to explore South America and get to know other organizations across the continent. Amidst a whirlwind of semi-packed suitcases and organizational details, we wanted to take the opportunity to enumerate the ways the Luena Foundation has made a positive impact on the organizations we’ve chosen to support here since our arrival in September. It seems like it’s been only a short time here in Cochabamba, but we all feel as though we’ve accomplished a lot!
