The ethical values of the foundation are: responsability, collaboration, creativity, integrity and objectivity.

The foundation has two social services: (1)"Lumina" Kindergarten and (2)Day centre for children (homework, aducational and recreational activities). The activities conducted in whitin these programs are educational, recreational and religious.
