2019-02-05: Staffs during New staff welcome induction and onboarding program in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire.
Dentro del agresivo programa “Da Dignidad por un Ecuador sin Mendicidad” que impulsa el Gobierno Nacional desde el Ministerio de Inclusión Económica y Social con el Instituto de la Niñez la Familia desde el 2007 para erradicar la mendicidad de niños, niñas, adultos mayores y personas con discapacidad, la titular del Portafolio, @XimePonceLeon y el Alcalde capitalino, Augusto Barrera, firmaron un convenio para generar procesos de inclusión de los habitantes de calle en el Distrito Metropolitano de Quito.
La Ministra Ponce en su intervención resaltó la labor del cabildo de la capital en el sentido de apoyar todas las iniciativas que ejecuta el MIES para ir erradicando en forma progresiva la mendicidad en el Distrito Metropolitano, siendo uno de esos problemas los habitantes de calle, es decir, esas personas que no tienen familias o deambulan por la ciudad como su forma de interacción humana en condiciones de precariedad.
El Alcalde del Distrito Metropolitano de Quito, Augusto Barrera, señaló que el MIES pondrá los recursos necesarios para el desarrollo de un trabajo profesional para recuperar a las personas inmersas en este problema. No se trata de un barrido social, sino de un accionar para que esas personas recuperen derechos, preciso.
El programa generará un servicio en tres niveles para la restitución de derechos de este colectivo: en el primero, los equipos de calle abordarán a las personas que practican la mendicidad, diagnosticarán su situación y les ubica en los servicios de segundo nivel, como es el caso del acogimiento, educación, salud o atención ambulatoria domiciliaria en procesos de inclusión social. El tercer nivel está dirigido a casos mas graves de desintegración social y psicológica.
Este convenio se suma al que en forma permanente realiza el MIES-INFA con la Fundación Patronato Municipal de Quito.

(February 26 to March 5, 2015)

Participating institution: Miami Dade College, FL, USA
Tomorrow's leaders must think and act as global citizens in order to address the challenges facing humanity. Broadly defined, global citizens are people who are consciously prepared to live and work in the complex interdependent society of the 21st century and contribute to improving the common global welfare of our planet and its inhabitants. The program aims to engage participating students as global citizens, helping them develop the knowledge, skills, values, and commitment to:
Understand the nature of globalization, including its positive and negative impacts around the world, and realize how it is transforming human society;
Appreciate the diversity of humanity in all of its manifestations, from local to global, and interact with different groups of people to address common concerns;
Recognize the critical global challenges that are compromising humanity's future and see how their complexity and interconnections make solutions increasingly difficult; and
Collaborate with different sets of stakeholders, by thinking globally and acting locally, to resolve these critical challenges and build a more equitable and sustainable world.
The session format includes lectures and discussions with an international faculty as well as formal and informal work in small groups. Topics addressed in plenary lectures and discussions include globalization and global responsibility; the social, economic, and political aspects of migration; the historical legacy of the Holocaust, human rights, humanitarian intervention; sustainable development; and the implications of the United States' influence around the world.
Participants will consider how these issues relate to their current situations and future personal, educational, and professional plans. They will also have the opportunity to develop projects and activities related to the session topic that can be implemented at their colleges and universities, in their local communities, and beyond.

•Franciscan Boys Home – Bethlehem
Boys, 6-18 years of age, live at the Franciscan Boys Home six days a week and return to their families on Sunday. The boys come from dysfunctional families residing in Bethlehem and receive psychological and emotional assistance. The FFHL runs the home for boys in a caring place where neighborhood youth can feel the safety and nurturing needed to survive.
FFHL has hired a full time staff which includes a cook, several teachers, a child psychologist, a social worker, a housekeeper, a club supervisor, as well as maintenance and security personnel. Both a Franciscan priest and a Franciscan nun serve as Directors of the Boys Home. The boys come from many local communities including Bethlehem, Beit Sahour, and Beit Jala, and attend the local Catholic school. The costs of salaries of staff, food, maintenance of the building, and yearly school tuition are fully funded by the FFHL.
