El mes de la patria nos recordó que la identidad nace tanto del amor por Panamá como del orgullo por nuestras comunidades. Nuestras cinco mascotas del mar reflejan ese espíritu y son una de las muchas ideas que surgen de nuestros comités de liderazgo.

Al final del newsletter encontrarán una historia inspiradora.  

Isla Cañas: Tortugas (primaria)

Isla Cañas: Pulpos (premedia)

 Pedasí: Delfines

 Guánico: Tiburones  

Cañas: Pez Raya

Cada mascota refleja valores como resiliencia, colaboración y creatividad, acompañando a los estudiantes en su camino de crecimiento y aprendizaje.

🌟 En Waved, cada niño encuentra un equipo, un símbolo y un motivo para avanzar.

Liderazgo que impulsa impacto

Recibimos a Marie y Julien, dos voluntarios que llegaron a Waved siguiendo un camino muy especial: llevan un año pedaleando desde Canadá hasta Argentina. En su paso por Panamá, decidieron sumar propósito a su viaje uniéndose al programa de voluntariado Marea. Vivieron un mes en Isla Cañas, compartiendo el día a día con una familia local, apoyando en las clases, escuchando historias y regalando momentos de aprendizaje desde su propia experiencia. Su paso marcó a nuestros estudiantes con una visión poderosa: los sueños sí se pueden lograr.

Su testimonio:

 "Queríamos incluir un proyecto humano durante nuestro viaje, y por eso buscamos a Waved. Es un proyecto con un impacto social muy grande, y nos dimos cuenta de que pudimos inspirar a los niños con nuestro viaje. Ellos entendieron que los sueños se pueden lograr." - Marie y Julien

Patriotism Month reminded us that identity stems both from love for Panama and pride in our communities. Our five sea mascots reflect that spirit and are one of the many ideas that emerge from our leadership committees.

You will find an inspiring story at the end of the newsletter. 

In Zona Waved, each group of students thrives with its own identity thanks to our sea mascots, symbols that represent belonging, pride, and the spirit of each community. More than illustrations, they are educational tools that promote teamwork, healthy competition, and a connection with the coastal environment.

Our five groups celebrate the essence of each locality:

Cañas Island: Turtles (elementary school)  

Cañas Island: Octopuses (middle school)  

Pedasí: Dolphins 

Guánico: Sharks      

Cañas: Stingray

Each mascot reflects values such as resilience, collaboration, and creativity, accompanying students on their path of growth and learning.

🌟 At Waved, every child finds a team, a symbol, and a reason to move forward.

Leadership that drives impact

Our leadership team meets every month to align strategies, review progress, and strengthen coordination between areas. These collaborative workspaces enhance clarity, planning, and conscious leadership within the organization.

At each in-person meeting, the team visits Zona Waved on Isla Cañas, sharing classes and experiences with students. This direct connection reminds us why we do what we do and how each decision contributes to the impact on coastal communities. United leadership builds a stronger future.

We welcomed Marie and Julien, two volunteers who arrived at Waved after following a very special path: they have been cycling from Canada to Argentina for a year. While passing through Panama, they decided to add purpose to their trip by joining the Marea volunteer program. They lived on Isla Cañas for a month, sharing their daily lives with a local family, helping out in classes, listening to stories, and sharing moments of learning from their own experience. Their visit left a powerful impression on our students: dreams can come true.

Their testimony:

“We wanted to include a humanitarian project during our trip, so we sought out Waved. It's a project with a huge social impact, and we realized that we could inspire the children with our journey. They understood that dreams can come true.” - Marie and Julien
