Hola! holistic learning centre

hey guys!

I'm working on a business idea about empowering special needs children through personal and spiritual growth. I'll tell you a little bit about me and how the idea was born.
I am Jocseline Catari, a Humans Resources Administrator, accredited TEFL teacher, special needs assistant and Laughter Therapist. I had this project idea after working with a group of incredible children with certain disabilities.
I quickly realised there aren’t many choices of activities after school, so the idea for Hola Learning Centre (or 'Hola' for short) was born. I passionately believe that all children should experience intercultural contact and have the opportunity for spiritual growth, which is why I wanted to bring the concepts together to create a positive, after school experience for children with disabilities.

The types of activities we will facilitate at the learning centre include: Languages, Art Therapy, Music Therapy, Mindfulness, Yoga, Laughter Therapy.

We are currently in the planning and preparation phase with the aim being to launch Hola in the summer of 2018. The location for our first learning centre is Dublin but our vision is to expand internationally with time.


The funds raised will help me secure the business plan that will enable me to apply for the grant (or financial aid) to bring Hola to life and benefit at least 100 children within 3 months of opening.

At Hola we believe in a world full of possibilities beyond disability and I thank you in advance for your generous support. Please feel free to share this page with your friends and family - donations of any amount are gratefully received with love.
