House Denim Days
House supports our efforts! The Denim Days 2020 campaign was connected with a charity campaign to benefit Atalaya Foundation. The designers of the brand created special T-shirts that go perfectly with jeans, the sale of the shirts started on September 10th. House will donate 50% of the revenue from the sales to us for our activities. The funds raised were allocated to organizing self-confidence workshops and educational courses for our youth.

During the workshops, various activities take place that correspond to the needs of the youth, such as meetings with inspiring individuals (special guests who have a similar history to our youth and are successful in life), celebrating successes from the previous month together, playing games that build self-confidence, and sometimes even cooking together.
During each meeting, we gather needs and ideas for future workshops.

It was a time to think, dream, and create a picture of the present and future, identify what fundamental changes need to be made, and activate one’s reserves of strength and energy to make those changes.
