The event brought media employees together with the nonprofit to offer time and practical help aimed at supporting the foundation’s mission.
Details from Fundación Latidos
Edgard Rojas, of Fundación Latidos, described the activity as meaningful for the families and children the foundation assists. He said the volunteer effort “is something very important because it is a symbol of bravery that is given to the children with congenital heart disease who are operated on.” The foundation’s work focuses on children undergoing heart surgery and the recovery and emotional support surrounding those procedures.
Background
Fundación Latidos is known in Panama for its work with pediatric patients who face congenital heart conditions and the challenges of surgery and recovery. Partnerships with private-sector organizations and volunteer groups help the foundation expand its reach and offer additional support to families during demanding medical processes.
What This Means
Corporate volunteer days such as the one organized with TVN Media can provide crucial non-financial resources: time, visibility, and community engagement that complement clinical care. For families and children affected by congenital heart disease, such support can reinforce the broader network of care and public awareness about the condition.
Looking Ahead
Events that connect media organizations and nonprofits help keep attention on pediatric health needs and the organizations that serve them. Fundación Latidos’ continued collaboration with volunteers is likely to remain an important element of its work supporting children through surgery and recovery.
