Our beneficiaries enjoyed an exciting movie day this week, where they relaxed and watched a fun and enriching film. The activity included a delicious snack, creating an even more pleasant atmosphere. Participants shared laughs and comments about their favorite scenes, strengthening community bonds and friendships. These recreational activities are key to promoting emotional well-being and a sense of belonging among our beneficiaries, creating unforgettable memories together.
The Environmental Guardians had an enriching educational experience this week by visiting the butterfly garden. Guided by experts, they explored various species of butterflies and other insects, observing their life cycles and behaviors. The activity not only allowed them to appreciate the beauty of these creatures but also to understand their crucial role in our ecosystems. This experience strengthened their commitment to environmental protection and fostered a collaborative learning environment and respect for nature among the participants.
From the psychosocial support program, activities promoting the mental health of our boys and girls are conducted. This time, we had the support of Academia Sandra to organize a spa session that included body massages, relaxing music, and aromatherapy, aiming to generate a state of well-being and emotional self-regulation.
Our beneficiaries from the “Alegría” group participated in an exciting activity of empathy and collaborative work.

This experience not only fostered creativity but also teamwork and solidarity among the participants. It was a day full of learning and fun!
Every Saturday, upon arrival, our children from the Travelers group engage in an exciting and fun activity to recognize their emotions.

This is a food security strategy to reduce food waste and simultaneously take advantage of fresh produce during harvest season by purchasing enough to store. Additionally, parents were able to enjoy a delicious and healthy dessert made with preserved fruits.
This week, at the Lipaya site, we visited the schools of our beneficiaries to verify their attendance and identify potential risk factors that could lead to school dropout. These activities allow us to intervene preventively, offering timely support and solutions to ensure that students can continue their education.
