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.

During the visits, we met with teachers and administrators to discuss the academic performance and well-being of the beneficiaries.

This Saturday, the children from the “Healthy Life” group participated in a sports activity aimed at promoting essential values such as respect, tolerance, and teamwork.

By the end of the event, the participants not only demonstrated their sports skills but also showed a better understanding and practice of these fundamental values, reinforcing the activity’s objective.
This week at the Soledad headquarters, we were joined by Meline, a special guest with excellent charisma, who came from France to share with us her experience in Colombia and teach us a bit about French culture.
