The story of a humble wise American man with a vision, who moved to Spain to start a non profit organisation and work hard to make his dreams become true!

About Fusa,
Our foundation began in 2010, as a Spanish non-profit organisation started by an American who wanted to help children and young people who have few economic and educational opportunities.
We're a small organisation made up of mostly volunteers that include professionals with backgrounds in education, psychology, business, IT, and communications. Our value proposition is to use digital technology and multi-media to help children develop the social and emotional skills required to rise above their situations and become successful and happy people.
We have a project with the regional government of Madrid to provide our services to more than 500 children at risk. We are now developing technology-based, creative, emotional intelligence activities that can be used to help any child, K-12, to better connect these kids to their local communities and develop their self esteem and awareness of how they could achieve their individual success.
In 2015, our funding goal will be based on accepting private donations, corporate support, and European Union funding. As we build our portfolio of emotional intelligence activities (also called Social and Emotional Learning, SEL), we want to expand our funding to include Trade In-Kind by offering schools the opportunity to incorporate our activities within their curriculum. There is a healthy market for SEL content in the US, and this market is now expanding rapidly in Europe. We are investing in collaborations that will enable us to attain the necessary credentials to make our activities acceptable, and world-class, in the market. We will differentiate ourselves by using digital tools to make our SEL activities more attractive and interesting for children.
We see potential in leveraging investor support to help us develop SEL activities that would be marketed to governments or directly to school systems.
On Monday 6th June we launched a crowdfunding campaign with one only purpose; to eradicate bullying in school worldwide. We raised 6000$ and I want to thank every person who made a donation for their generosity and big support!
If you have been following me online then you already know that we want to change the world :)
Fundación Sanders is hosting a multi-country seminar in April called Close the Gap.
We're bringing after school centers from 10 countries in Europe to Madrid for a 4-day intensive workshop to discuss best practice use of technology in after school centers that help youth at risk of exclusion.
We're also formally launching a transnational project called CICY (Connecting Industry Communities and Youth) where we teach disadvantaged youth digital marketing skills and then connect them local small businesses in order to get real relevant experience. We're going to end the wage disparity for disadvantaged youth segments once and for all - with your help of course!
