ACES North America

05/22/2026

Since 2019 ACES has supported the Angosto Kids Club. It started as a small community center and since grown into so much more.

Each week children voluntarily attend to see what activities the club’s leader, Griselda Bautista, has in store for them.

Today was a river clean up project in their community, along with some discussion, food, and fun!

The rainy season continues to degrade the unpaved road to our community project in Angosto. It has been a regular issue for many years.

We are open to ideas for solutions to this ongoing problem. Reach out to us!

Mis niños bajo la lluvia caminaron alrededor de 3 kilómetros para llegar a sus casas porque el río no permitió que el transporte pasara para regresarlos a sus casas .

MARCH SPOTLIGHT ✨

Angosto Kids Club :

Angosto Kids Club, contrary to the name, is not just for kids. It is a community center where locals in the remote mountain village of Angosto can learn, develop friendships, and work together. It helps provide sustainability to the community with a garden and other necessities as well! Donations to ACES helps to support all of the community outreach that Angosto Kids Club provides.

Follow along this month as we share more about what Angosto Kids Club is up to!
