We started to do home visits to the new children and families of the Foundation. These help us to get to know a little bit about the children and their family before they start in addition to obtaining essential documents for the child’s resume.

The Mothers’ Day celebration in Lipaya was a huge success with more than 50 people in attendance. With contests, serenades and comedy, the mothers who attended had the most fun, laughing and dancing. Once again the workshop groups brought out the best in organisation and the happy faces of the mothers was the prize!

Technological advances contribute to improving the quality of life of people and in school support we use them as cognitive stimulation tools for children. Children have fun and learn while improving their weaknesses.

The school support program is an activity aimed at training school-age children and involves the children attending various activities on the school day. They are guided and trained by people in the educational field in order to overcome any behavioural difficulties and achieve academic success.

Children’s Day was celebrated with a fair of values, where 12 recreational games were held, reinforcing in them team work, respect, honesty and understanding. Children participated actively, full of energy, fun and companionship.

Learning is a continuous process and goes at different rates in each human being. Therefore it is required to use teaching tools in which students have an active role. Through participation in class children can discover the meaning of learning any subject, especially in the area of mathematics, to identify if they understood the theme that is being taught in class.

The Guardians of the Environment group of the Foundation held a day of awareness about the importance of trees and the management of solid waste in the Nuevo Horizonte neighbourhood of Soledad. The community participated actively, integrating parents and children to the day. Excellent work!

Writing, along with reading, are the two most powerful weapons we can give children to lay the foundations of their cognitive development. Our School Support program provides spaces for individual and group reading practise through weekly training exercises that help our beneficiaries to improve their reading process, to take dictation and to write words correctly.

When young people think about which career to choose, they often fall into the indecision about what will be the best direction to take. The Foundation provides a Vocational Guidance service that includes a psychological test where the counsellor looks at the student’s profile corresponding to their abilities and interests. This service is provided to children who are in 11th grade and those who have finished high school and are still unclear about what they want to do.

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.
