Ludoteca in Hospital Vicente Corral Moscoso

At Avanzar’s Games library we care for hospitalized children, and support for their relatives. Play is familiar and reassuring, it's how children make sense of the world around them. Playing in hospital helps children to learn and develop, and most of all to feel less anxious. They can express their feelings and worries and understand what is happening and cope with treatment.

Thanks to an agreement with the University of Cuenca and the valuable support of its students and interns, we               have been able to provide hours of play and joy to hospitalized children. Weekly, the students prepare activities tailored to the specific needs of the children, encouraging them to play and learn. Additionally, annually, we have several volunteers, mostly from Switzerland, who visit us and dedicate their time to the children in the hospital. In our playroom, we have a wide variety of games and toys that students and volunteers use to engage children of all ages. Furthermore, the parents of the children receive a daily meal, while our weavers take turns providing them with yarns and teaching them the art of weaving. Annually, we impact hundreds of children and distribute 9000 breakfasts to their parents.
