Mom’s Group Testimonials

The most valuable thing is being able to learn from other moms’ experiences and acquire tools to face every challenge I have in my daily life, both personally and as a mother. Having children is already a challenge, but preparing for their upbringing is essential, especially regarding their education. Learning to save, helping them with their tasks, and making a life plan are steps towards their future.


Lo más valioso es poder aprender de experiencias de otras mamás y obtener herramientas para enfrentar cada reto que tengo en la vida diaria tanto personal como de madre. Tener hijos ya es un reto pero prepararse para su crianza es es esencial, en particular los estudios. Aprender ahorrar, ayudarlos en sus tareas y hacer un plan de vida es un paso para su futuro.

I believe that what I have liked the most is sharing experiences with other mothers who go through situations similar to mine as a mother and as a woman. The stages of growth and development of our children often make us doubt our abilities to guide them. In these mom’s groups, we encourage each other to learn and seek the necessary help, which helps us feel confident and informed to become better women and mothers.

Creo que ami lo que más me a gustado es compartir experiencias con otras madres que pasan por situaciones iguales a las mías como madre y como mujer las etapas de crecimiento y de desarrollo de nuestros hijos que muchas veces nos hacen dudar de nuestras capacidades para guiarlos en estos grupos de mamás nos animamos unas a otras a aprender y a buscar la ayuda necesaria,nos ayuda a sentirnos seguras al igual que informadas para ser unas mejores mujeres y madres.
