Architect Jessica Céspedes has completed the drawings for the future Fundación offices. We are excited about taking the next step, which is finding the right builder for our new home.
But first, the plans are being reviewed by our Building Committee, which includes scholarship students and graduates in architecture and engineering. Jessica Céspedes owns the architectural firm Barberena Cespedes, based in Granada, with her husband Juan Barberena. They designed and constructed Escuela Adelante’s new building in El Container. http://www.fundacionajbrugger.org/our-plan-in-action.html

This week they gave a talk to 44 students in the 8th grade of Stella Maris, presenting causes and prevention of this social problem. This initiative is a coordination between the Stella Maris Educational Center and Fundación A. Jean Brugger with the goal of prevention, so that the young people of San Juan del Sur do not become victims of bullying. Scholarship students in medical sciences careers receive training in prevention measures for uterine, ovarian and breast cancer in women, in order to strengthen the knowledge of students in these topics that will be used in training themselves to train women of different ages, in 7 communities of the municipality of San Juan del Sur, as part of the community social service program implemented by the Fundación A. Jean Brugger through the project Days For Girls which contributes to the prevention of early pregnancy, hygiene and cancer prevention in women
