During this week, through the psychosocial program, home visits were conducted in order to characterize the children and their families who are in the process of joining our programs.
Closing of the Community Leadership project
The young people from the Community Leaders project had a beautiful closing ceremony, a space for citizen participation where various social actors were present, such as the Community Action Board, the community, and territorial entities, to listen to and give their opinions on the young people’s community proposals to address some of the sector’s issues. Additionally, a cultural dance showcase was held, and diplomas were awarded to all Community Leaders as a symbol of their commitment to Human Rights and Citizen Participation.
Follow-up week
This week, we began the follow-ups to update our database, which allows us to stay in touch with our beneficiaries. Additionally, we conducted academic follow-ups to verify the current enrollment status and promote school attendance.
We remain committed to education.
This week we carried out educational articulation activities, where meetings were held with our higher education students in order to continue the academic orientation process, and with parents from the inclusion program who were provided with information corresponding to the follow-ups and activities of this new year. Likewise, agreements were established and commitment agreements were signed.
Community Proposal Building
This week, from the Community Leaders project, working groups were formed for the development of community proposals. This activity is part of an educational exercise that allows young people to put into practice what they have learned during the training process and to propose strategies to solve the issues they have encountered within their community.

End-of-year closure “Uniting Hearts at Christmas”
Today, the closure of the projects took place through the grand celebration “Uniting Hearts at Christmas”. Our boys and girls from Barranquilla and Soledad surprised relatives and the attending audience with beautiful presentations of singing, dancing, theater, and art, all based on the values and skills developed in the projects, creating a space of love, companionship, reflection, and family unity. During this event, we had the support of Noticias Caracol and Pepeganga, who also provided moments of great joy.
Preparation of cultural display
With much joy, excitement, and enthusiasm, our children from the Children’s Guardians group are preparing a beautiful presentation as a cultural showcase of the Colombian Caribbean. This type of activity promotes cultural appreciation and love for their roots, which will undoubtedly be a great performance at our closing celebration.
The community leaders continue with the training workshops
The group of young people from the Community Leaders project continues with the training workshops as the basis of a social transformation process, acquiring skills that allow them to have conceptual foundations for the construction of community proposals.
