During this day different artistic presentations were shown, in addition to this, the children had the opportunity to play on inflatables and enjoy cotton candy and popsicle machines, thanks to the support of the Navy. In addition, Christmas gifts were delivered to each of the beneficiaries. In this way we promote a message of love and union for this date. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all. 

We had a unique experience with the indigenous Wayuu community located in La Guajira. We developed a playful and educational day with children and their parents and elders, with whom we exchanged experiences.

During the last week of work, different groups of boys and girls prepare for the Christmas Closing, preparing their artistic presentations. Through dance, they demonstrate their talents and teamwork to put on a very special act that day.

At the Lipaya headquarters, the young Environmental Guardians are preparing artistic crafts to present an Environmental Stand at the Christmas closing ceremony. In order to show the guests all the activities that they carried out in the project during this year.

This Saturday the children members of the Psicoafectivo project in Lipaya made themselves a Christmas mural that they would show at the Christmas closing of the Foundation. They have decided through art, to show a message of love and union for this Christmas.

This week the foundation’s youth group was developing volunteer activities in the community in alliance with the community action board of the Lipaya neighborhood; the volunteer activities were aimed at the elderly from the recreational point of view.

This activity had several purposes: that young people could have an approach with the leaders of the neighborhood, identify some problems of their community and have an experience of community work.

This Saturday, the youngest beneficiaries of the Lipaya headquarters had the opportunity to participate in the Recreational Vacation activities carried out by the Mayor’s Office of Barranquilla in the Lipaya neighborhood. During this day they performed artistic activities, played on trampolines, inflatables and much more. Games are essential to develop motor and social skills in children.

With the psycho-affective intervention project we promote educational spaces to strengthen responsible decision making related to sexual and reproductive health, this time we did it in alliance with the Red Joven Profamilia, a group of young people trained to teach other young people about sexual and reproductive rights. During this meeting, different playful and pedagogical activities were carried out to resolve concerns and identify myths and realities about sexuality, contraceptive methods and health care routes to prevent pregnancy.

The youth and pre-juvenile groups of the Lipaya neighborhood had the opportunity to participate in sexual and reproductive education activities led by members of the Profamilia Youth Network. These activities are important for young people of the Foundation to know their sexual and reproductive rights, in addition to learning about the correct use of contraceptive methods.
