Every Saturday at the Barranquilla location, the first activity with the children is focused on educating them on the importance of punctuality through interactive activities and games. In this way, we promote values such as responsibility, respect, commitment, and the development of healthy habits that allow them to arrive on time. We also make sure to give a shout out to the first children who arrive on time at 8:00am, when the day’s activities begin.
This Saturday we received a visit from a young adult member of the RED JOVEN PROFAMILIA program, and we developed activities with the goal of defending and promoting Sexual and Reproductive Rights among the children in the Barranquilla location.

This week the children and young people who participated in the Community Vegetable Garden project in Lipaya developed their creativity and artistic abilities by creating their pots with recycled plastic bottles.
