Success of La Sonrisa de Guille at the Velilla de San Antonio Festivities
We are very grateful to the residents of Velilla de San Antonio. We have all been warmly welcomed and we have had an avalanche of orders for T-shirts to celebrate the local festivals. Thank you all for having La Sonrisa de Guille, we wish you a lot of fun during the festivities!!
Inauguration of LSdG
We don't have enough words to express what we felt on the 8th. You can't imagine what it was like to be setting everything up, to turn around and suddenly see the park full of friends. We thought that hardly anyone would come to the ribbon cutting and it was a real surprise. It was very gratifying to feel your support, affection and warmth... above all warmth! although it was not enough for us. We have the feeling that with people like you everything is going to go very well, thank you again! During the opening ceremony, we were accompanied by Ángel Moreno from Imagen en Acción. As a member of this association, he made us a very complete report in a totally altruistic way. Thank you very much Ángel!
What do you sell at La Sonrisa de Velilla?
Now that the festive season is approaching, we have T-shirts, dungarees, scarves,... You can buy them as they are or with the design of your choice. In our shop-workshop you can not only buy, but also see how we work. Where is La Sonrisa de Velilla? We are in Paraguay street 1. It is the shop next to the photo house in the south park (the one with the Telepizza). We haven't saved up for the sign yet, so we still have the old one that says "fantasy exists". Here is a video so you don't miss it. What are the opening hours? Monday to Friday from 10:00 to 13:00 and from 17:00 to 20:00 When are you open? We are already at your disposal! What is La Sonrisa de Velilla? It is the first physical shop of La Sonrisa de Guille, a non-profit association that provides work for mentally handicapped people. Come and see us!
Today our boys have finally come
In just one morning, they have already learned how to personalize t-shirts, backpacks and bags. They are the cane!
We signed a collaboration agreement with Aspimip
We want to guarantee the quality of the jobs we offer and for this reason we have signed a collaboration agreement with ASPIMIP (Association for the social inclusion of people with functional diversity in the Community of Madrid). This association, located in Coslada, and with a long experience (operating since 1986), has an employment service and a job bank from which we have selected our workers. We are lucky to be able to count on their great professionals (social workers, psychologists, job coaches...) who will guarantee the psychosocial, personal and family support of each one of them. A great honour for us, thank you very much Aspimip. https://aspimip.org/
We open a Job Center for people with disabilities in Velilla de San Antonio
After the fabulous experience we have lived in collaboration with the Buenafuente School, La Sonrisa de Guille has decided to take the leap and open in Velilla de San Antonio its own employment centre for people with disabilities. Our workers have been selected from the employment pool of the Aspimip association and advised by social workers and specialists of this same association with which a collaboration agreement has been signed to guarantee the quality of care and adaptation of all our workers. Thank you very much!
A great way to collaborate with LSdG
Amelia has donated these wonderful fofuchas to us to put them on sale in our new place. Thank you so much! You can buy them from September 2. Feel free to donate your art too. If you want a fofucha, contact Amelia at [email protected] Hugs and kisses, La Sonrisa de Velilla
What a thrill!
Look what our friend Carmen has given us. Our favorite laughingstock has come to life. It has reached our hearts, thank you very much! A huge kiss Guille's smile
They send us a very special greeting from ETHIOPIA!
Our colleagues from the Feel Adwa Association sent us these nice pictures with the T-shirts that we donated from La Sonrisa de Guille. Feel Adwa was born from the importance of learning English in Ethiopia, where the school curriculum from the age of 14, the university entrance exam and the university itself are taught entirely in English, in an alphabet completely different from the official language, Amharic. Camp Adwa, the main project of Feel Adwa, aims to improve the knowledge of English in students between 6 and 18 years old, believes in the importance of the role of motivation in learning and that another way of educating is possible. From La Sonrisa de Guille we are already supporting them, it's your turn!
Our La Sonrisa de Velilla center is taking shape.
Sign up for our Teaming to keep it possible. https://www.teaming.net/lasonrisadeguille
