Values

  1. COMMITMENT: We are people who are aware of the importance of working with professionalism, responsibility and loyalty, making the values and objectives of the Paí Pukú Center our own, making the greatest effort to achieve them, placing them above our personal goals and interests.

  2. SPIRITUALITY: We are people with the conviction that there is a reality that transcends us, beyond the senses, that gives us the strength that drives us to work with love every day, giving meaning to our existence and significance to our path.

  3. RESPECT: At the Pa'i Puku Center, respect is a fundamental and essential value that helps us value and tolerate differences and understand that they make us grow, being considerate of each person, taking into account their interests, abilities, preferences, fears or feelings. Living respect as a central value, we build a model community in which violence, aggression, discrimination or abuse do not exist.

  4. INCLUSION: We are an organization that positively values the diversity of people, as a path to building a community that is more respectful of individual differences. The experience of this value allows for the equal participation of all, values the contribution of each person to the community and leads us to end the exclusion that results from negative attitudes resulting from the lack of recognition of diversity.

  5. COOPERATION: We are people who give our best, being supportive of others, allowing ourselves to be helped and helping for the good of all, convinced that cooperative work does not compete, but that its practice makes us stronger as people and as an organization.

  6. SOLIDARITY: At the Paí Pukú Center, we feel and recognize ourselves as united people, who share the same obligations, interests and ideals, making the circumstances of others our own, resorting to help or support without expecting compensation.

  7. CARE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT: At the Paí Pukú Center we value the environment, caring for it and taking action to improve it, as a commitment to life and as a sign of respect for every human being. We are people with simple habits and common sense to promote the conservation and care of the environment. At our Center, we reduce pollution and conserve our natural resources, to generate positive change on a large scale and protect our planet Earth.

  8. FREEDOM: At the Paí Pukú Center, we are free people, true actors of our conduct, which is determined by the values acquired and assimilated in our daily life and reflected in our actions. We respect individuality and the rights of others and value the ability to express thoughts, ideas or beliefs through written, oral or artistic expression.

  9. QUALITY: We are people who seek excellence, aware of the needs of society, meeting its expectations, committed to the quality of our service. We seek to achieve qualitative and quantitative differentiation, adding value to the actions, products and services offered.

  10. INNOVATION: At Pa'i Puku we promote innovative changes in different areas of our educational work, in order to enable people to develop their creativity and inventiveness more efficiently, making appropriate and rational use of available resources. We are conscious and committed to constant transformation and renewal, without losing the essence of our own philosophy.
