The Parent School is a space that enables collective reflection contributing to the educational task that the family has. On this occasion, and with the help of a series of training activities focused on healthy nutrition, all of the members of the workshop learned about the food groups that should be eaten more frequently and those that we should avoid consuming.
With the support of the Colombian Civil Defense, our group the Environmental Guardians of the Foundation held an art workshop with messages alluding to the care of the environment. We also worked on perseverance, teamwork and respect for our partner’s turn.
The activity was carried out in a house in the community where neighbourhood children from outside the Foundation were also brought into the group.
The artistic day was a success, managing to reflect on caring for the environment and strengthening ties between the Foundation and other important participants in this sector, such as Civil Defense and the community.
Two groups, “Los Guerreros” and “Guardianes Ambientales” left for one of the city’s synthetic football pitches where they participated in a football competition, which apart from breaking the daily routine, is fantastic for mental health, teamwork and integration.
Participation, enthusiasm and joy was the order of the day with everyone finishing the games totally satisfied and with the desire to repeat it all again.
During this week the cafeteria has been developing educational activities with the children around healthy eating as October 16 was proclaimed World Food Day by the FAO with the purpose of raising awareness around the world of the global food problem and to strengthen solidarity in the fight against hunger, malnutrition and poverty.
Healthy nutrition is important for the growth and development of children, therefore the School Room has been doing educational and playful activities to teach the children good habits, such as washing their hands before eating, the use of cutlery and the importance of consuming fruits and vegetables daily.
The youth group of the Foundation again developed and carried out excellent social work by initiating a literacy campaign for older adults, who for the first time in their lives had someone to teach them how to recognize letters.
The enthusiasm of the adults who participated in the campaign was really exciting as they learned to trace their first letters and write their names. Congratulations to the youth group.

La Fundación Mi Ciudad con Vida, creada en el año 2000, es una organización privada e independiente, sin ánimo de lucro. Colombia es un país asolado por la violencia. La crisis social, económica y política se traduce en un nivel muy alto de pobreza extrema . Los niños y los jóvenes son los más afectados por este fenómeno.
