Within the framework of educational workshops with parents and children, we have highlighted the importance of breakfast, considered the most important meal of the day, as it provides the necessary nutrients and energy to successfully start school activities. Today, we worked on identifying the appropriate times for breakfast and the food groups we should prioritize to start the day with full energy.
A joyful Family Day celebration was held at the Lipaya location with the organization of a bingo event in which children participated alongside their families.

One of the main objectives of the food security program is for children to learn how to eat healthily.

This week, the boys and girls in the food security program participated in a fun and colorful activity where they learned to identify the colors of different foods.

This month, our nutritional workshop focused on strategies for preparing healthy meals quickly, considering that there are parents with multiple responsibilities.

This week, the Foundation, in collaboration with the Personería of Barranquilla, held a training session on human rights and care pathways.

Throughout this month, we have conducted association and semantic awareness exercises to promote children’s adaptation and acceptance of new fruits and vegetables. This activity involved choosing a random letter from the alphabet, and the children had to write down a fruit and a vegetable that started with that letter, describing their taste and color.
Adolescents and young people from the foundation actively participated in the Tajamares Run, supporting educational actions on environmental care and leadership. The race, held in a natural environment, not only promoted physical activity but also environmental awareness among the attendees.

We congratulate all the participants for their great effort and commitment!
