Honoring our youth missions club members! These incredible young people are truly what it is all about!
At our recent award ceremony, we took a moment to celebrate the almost 40 youth who have faithfully served in our missions club project this year. Every single month, these youth have dedicated their time to visiting and teaching around 150 kids in their communities. We could not be prouder of their hearts for service!
In 2 Tim 2:2, we are reminded of the beautiful mission to teach others who will then teach others. Seeing our youth live this out firsthand is such a blessing. They are putting their faith into action—taking the love and grace they have received and turning right around to share that same care and grace with the children around them. That is exactly what the gospel is all about!
To celebrate their hard work, we took a moment to acknowledge and honor them at our recent award ceremonies where we gave each participant a certificate of recognition, a small gift of appreciation, and a little light to remind them to keep shining God’s light wherever they go.
Join us in celebrating these amazing young leaders in the comments below!

Special Guest Speaker and Cadaniño Children’s Champion Award winner: Pastor Francisco Bendfelt!
Since our very beginning, we have been profoundly blessed by the deep friendship and unwavering support of Pastor Francisco, along with the beautiful community at his church, Casa de Libertad as they have walked along side us in this journey.
It was a joy and a privilege to present him with this award during his guest sermon at our recent 10-Year Anniversary Awards Ceremony! Thank you, Pastor Francisco, for standing with us, encouraging us and supporting this mission that God has called us to!

Honoring the leaders of our Student-Led STEM Clubs!
We are incredibly proud of these outstanding young leaders who were recently recognized at our 10-year Anniversary Clausura!
Between our two community centers, these dedicated students are completely taking the reins—leading a total of 5 different clubs!
• Two 3D Printing Clubs
• One Arduino Club
• One Drone Building Club
• One Graphic Design Club
They take the initiative to entirely plan, prepare, and organize the high-level material they want to teach to their own classmates. Seeing our students step up to empower, inspire, and educate their peers is the ultimate reflection of our mission. Thank you for your leadership and dedication to the Cadanino family! Keep shining bright!

Celebrating 10 Years of Transformation: Colonia Santa Fe Center Clausura!
Last Saturday, we gathered for a truly unforgettable morning at our Colonia Santa Fe center for our 10-year Anniversary Clausura (Award Ceremony) celebration. It was a deeply special time of reflection, celebration, and gratitude for all that God has done through the years!
During the ceremony, we shared a video looking back at our journey—and it moved us all to see what God has done over the last decade. We looked back at our incredibly humble beginnings: starting with just 35 students and a single teacher, learning inside a renter garage with old computers set up on desks made from scrap wood.
Look at what 10 years of faithfulness can do! Today, the Cada Niño foundation has grown to:
• 2 vibrant community centers serving 250 beautiful students
• A dedicated team of 18 staff members
• Students mastering advanced programming, robotics, and 3D printing.
• Youth actively participating in intensive leadership training courses
• A culture of reading, with our students devouring over 1,000 books!
• Over 40 incredible youth stepping up to serve in our missions program
• Empowered, student-led clubs where our own students are now teaching their classmates the high-level skills they’ve mastered.
We were so honored to have guest speaker Axel Beteta share a profound, special message with our families. We also had the privilege of honoring our special guest, Charles Secker with our Children’s Champion Award to recognize his invaluable help and unwavering support over the years.
To top off this momentous occasion, our donor and board member, Jamie Waller, joined us to hand-deliver the highly anticipated, coveted laptops as well as share some encouraging words to our students! These laptops were awarded to our top-performing students as a reward for their hard work.
Thank you to every teacher, donor, partner, parent, and student who has walked this 10-year journey with us. The garage and scrap wood desks may be in our past, but the brightest chapters of our students’ futures are just beginning!

Expanding horizons in science!
We are incredibly proud of our students who were invited by Senacyt to participate in the XI Congreso de Química 2026, organized in collaboration with UVG, USAC, and UMG!
Today, our students spent an intensive day at the UVG campus diving into cutting-edge scientific discussions. They attended fascinating presentations and workshops, including:
• Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2026: Exploring click chemistry and bioorthogonal reactions.
• Environmental Law: Discussing the Iniciativa de Ley de Aguas (Water Law Initiative).
• Artificial Photosynthesis: Learning about synthesizing molecules for green energy.
• Polar Research: Discovering insights on Contaminación en la Antártida (Pollution in Antarctica).
• Hands-on Workshop: Participating in the "Transformando la materia" (Transforming Matter) laboratory session designed for high school students.
• Global Opportunities: Exploring research funding and scholarships in Germany through the DAAD.
Events like this give our students a first-hand look at how chemistry shapes everything from environmental policies to global innovation. Thank you, Senacyt, for inspiring the next generation of scientific innovators!
