Special Program with J.P. Morgan Japan

Last month, in partnership with J.P. Morgan in Japan, we held a special Culture Day program at one of the care homes where we run our regular activities.

With more than 30 participants, the aim of the program was to introduce Mexican culture and celebrations to the children. We began the day by making tacos, with children and volunteers from J.P. Morgan and Youth For Future working together to prepare the fillings. The children especially enjoyed taking the lead during the cooking process, demonstrating confidence and a strong sense of ownership.

After enjoying the tacos and also making rice krispies for dessert, we were treated to an engaging presentation on the origins of tacos and the tradition of piñata celebrations. This was followed by an energetic Kahoot quiz, where table groups competed to showcase their new learnings. We concluded the day with a piñata party, using piñatas that had been thoughtfully prepared in advance.

Overall, it was a meaningful day that combined challenge, learning, and fun—allowing children to interact with new faces while discovering a new culture in a hands-on way. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the J.P. Morgan team for making this wonderful collaboration possible.
