Adela is passionate about working with women, children and youth and has extensive experience working on community initiatives that offer solutions for unequal opportunities in terms of education, health, employment and political participation that many women experience globally. She believes in people's capacity to connect with each other, despite their different experiences through life, and how the union of these souls allows the creation of a solidarity network that can transform a shared reality.
As a psychologist, teacher and dancer, Vicky has worked with children since 2009, teaching creative dancing from ages 2 to 11. Based in IPM's LAC Office in El Salvador, Vicky feels passionate about IPM's values and vision of social change.
Eneyda executes (qualitative and quantitative) research processes in different communities where IPM's Project Partners are based to provide growth opportunities. Based in El Salvador, she provides regular training in community mobilization, program planning, and organizational development. Eneyda identifies opportunities for IPM to engage the local community and expand human rights networking while providing accompaniment to diverse volunteer programs that will ensure social and economic growth for IPM's Program Partners in the LAC Region.
