I’m Monica. Mother for my child, child for my mother.

I think that… since I know myself, I’ve loved children. I vividly remember that I was in high school and my mother had a co-worker who had just given birth. When she came to visit us, she also came with the baby. I loved sitting on the couch with baby in my arms. It smelled of warm milk and peace. When I looked at him, time stood still. Until I became a mother myself, I liked being a mother to others. Even if they had their own mother. I liked how they received me in their beautiful world, I liked how they laughed with all their face, I was completely lost in their smile and their clear eyes.
In time, however, I began to encounter cases that made my soul cry. We find out that there are children for whom childhood does not look as I knew. We find out that there are good and smart children, that there are children with unsuspected talents, with passions that would move the mountains and overthrow worlds that have no chance. They don’t have a chance to excel. They don’t have a chance to evolve. They don’t have a chance to see that “I CAN”.

“It doesn’t matter what you are, but what you become”

I think these are the perfect words. I heard them in a movie and they got stuck in my mind. With them as a foundation, I started building. A foundation: Hello Humanity.
A place where children’s dreams can come true, where passions are nurtured and talents are sustained.
We all know that every child, at birth, is endowed with gifts. They are just offered to him, freely, without debts, without obligations, without pressure. He is given wings to fly in any direction he wants, to explore mountains, seas, deserts, flowers. It’s time to choose. When he can choose for himself.
And we all know that often those wings break. They break because they have no defense against the storm of life, because they are not built to cope with routine, banality, difficulties, refusals. And we see how butterflies without wings pass before our eyes every day. All butterflies deserve wings. As contoured as possible, as colorful as possible, as vivid as possible.
That’s why we’re here. We’re here to keep the wings from breaking.
That child who paints on the walls, because his folks can’t buy the necessary materials, that child who sings slowly because he has no one to hear his clear voice, that child who looks painfully through the fence when other children, luckier that him, are training on the field… and he tests in the mirror the movements of the great tennis players, whom he pursues with ardor, that child deserves a chance.
“Hello Humanity” is that place where nothing is impossible. In which the words “can’t”, “we don’t have money”, “it’s not for you”, “think about it”, “do something else” do not exist. In which together we build a ladder to the stars.
“Hello Humanity” gives everyone a chance to give a dream a chance. Welcome, Humanity!

A beautiful smile starts from childhood!

At the start of life, we are all vulnerable and need the help and support of our parents.
But what do you do when your parents can’t offer you more than just meeting your basic needs, food and shelter, or maybe not even that? The less fortunate of us often face difficult life situations and cannot evolve in the direction they want.
Poverty experienced during childhood can have unpleasant consequences throughout life, as there is a good chance that those children will have restricted access not only to education, but also to quality health care.
Children from families without financial means are twice as likely to have dental problems.
All children are equal and should receive the medical services necessary to maintain good health. Oral education is essential, and a proper dental hygiene is passed down from generation to generation. In the absence of a positive family model, community strength can bring about the constructive change these children need.
Here we enter the scene, because together we can create sunny smiles*!
