Today at the Foundation was super motivating. Ana Cecilia’s workshop group celebrated Barranquilla day, creating beautiful flags, singing the official hymn of the city and playing lots of games. In this way, we paid tribute to our beautiful city… Long live Barranquilla.
Medical examinations were carried out on the entire work team to identify any health conditions. There were also activities to raise awareness of healthy lifestyles.
According to the World Health Organisation, health is the complete state of physical, mental and social wellbeing, so we took advantage of the date to examine the habits that we should acquire. Throughout the week, we put emphasis on play-learn activities emphasising the importance of maintaining a healthy diet with an area that we called nutritional space where the children were questioned about their favourite fruit or vegetable and the benefits they bring to our health. Likewise, we used the space for some physical exercise with a Rumbatherapy session.
When you give a little of what you receive, you demonstrate your human quality and social commitment. Therefore, we want to highlight the work of Brainer, who belongs to the Graduates program and is currently in the ninth semester of civil engineering. He improves mathematical competences for high school children through complementary workshops. Three of the youth group who chose the Foundation to do their 80 hours of literacy join this fantastic task, showing example of personal improvement to their peers.
Community work makes it possible for all residents to get involved and contribute to an improvement in the quality of their lives. The youth group was taken to Soleded and there they put into practise their knowledge and skills with the children from the School Dining Room; developing artistic activities, such as story reading, painting, drawing, dancing and singing. The children loved it. Long live community development!
Learning must be meaningful and comprehensive and our reading project is designed to work on reading mechanics, speed, intonation, comprehension and is playful, creative and reflective.
The psychosocial accompaniment program was taking a tour of all the educational institutions where our beneficiaries are enrolled, with the objective of carrying out an academic follow-up and a situational diagnosis of the social problems that can arise in the community at the school level.
The reading, to wake the imagination and curiosity of the children, also contributes knowledge and new topics of conversation that strengthen social relationships. This week, throughout service at the dining room, we have opened a space to share stories, tales and fables that promote healthy habits and participation.
The psychosocial accompaniment program is responsible for making the link with the programs that are developed during the week. This time we were visiting some institutions of higher education where are children are studying, with the purpose of following up their academic and formative process.
