Fundación LIRES thanks volunteers and leaders at an integration dinner

Integration dinner

The Fundación Líderes con Responsabilidad Social del Ecuador held an integration dinner on Saturday, December 27, 2025, at Punta del Este grill, Villa Club, inviting the volunteers and leaders from the different cantons that make up this prestigious institution.

The event also recognized the impactful humanitarian and educational achievements during 2025.

We want to express our gratitude to God for allowing us to be on this side of the shore, as it says in Acts 20:35 It is more blessed to give than to receive. We thank each volunteer for their willingness to serve at Fundación LIRES. This year 2025, God has allowed us to reach other provinces and create a social impact that contributes to the common good. This is reflected in an investment of $220,000 in health services and programs, humanitarian aid, trainings in Rebuilding the Social Fabric, and leadership development.

Volunteer testimonials

Fabián Correa Figueroa president of the Fundación Líderes con Responsabilidad Social del Ecuador, began the program by welcoming everyone present.

Then each of the foundation's leaders took the floor, expressing gratitude and sharing testimonies of how they came to LIRES, where today they collaborate as committed volunteers who serve in the foundation as agents of change to strengthen families and communities in several provinces of the country, promoting the rebuilding of the Social Fabric in Ecuador.

Among those attending were MSc Nery Vera his wife and daughter. Nery brought a very moving message for the foundation's volunteers and leaders.

“I am very grateful to God for allowing me to meet very important people who believe in the word of God, people who give their all without expecting any reward,” he said.

The foundation is an organization that has no financial backing from any agency, and each of its volunteers contributes not only their gifts, talents and time, but sometimes also their own resources and material goods.
