The Mi Ciudad con Vida Foundation, in partnership with Fundación Milenio XXI and the Mayor of Barranquilla, held the first grotesque and feminine Comic Workshop where mothers of our children and the community got involved. The activity was characterized by playful, mystical and reflective dynamism.

The second rehearsal of the end of the year party was developed with great enthusiasm in the facilities of the Foundation in the Lipaya neighbourhood, where each group defined what they will do in the Christmas event. The disposition of the children and youth facilitated the advancement of the program for the closing event.

As a novelty, we had the visit of the English Photographer, professor at the Universidad del Norte, Neal Houghton, who did a photo session with the active participation of the children, who were very warm and receptive to the visitor.

We are all excited about the end of the year party; The first trial was a success. The commitment and dedication were evident throughout the days by the children of the Foundation. In addition, part of the general program was defined.

This is already taking shape!

With the support of the Colombian Civil Defense, our group the Environmental Guardians of the Foundation held an art workshop with messages alluding to the care of the environment. We also worked on perseverance, teamwork and respect for our partner’s turn.

The activity was carried out in a house in the community where neighbourhood children from outside the Foundation were also brought into the group.

The artistic day was a success, managing to reflect on caring for the environment and strengthening ties between the Foundation and other important participants in this sector, such as Civil Defense and the community.

Two groups, “Los Guerreros” and “Guardianes Ambientales” left for one of the city’s synthetic football pitches where they participated in a football competition, which apart from breaking the daily routine, is fantastic for mental health, teamwork and integration.

Participation, enthusiasm and joy was the order of the day with everyone finishing the games totally satisfied and with the desire to repeat it all again.

The youth group of the Foundation again developed and carried out excellent social work by initiating a literacy campaign for older adults, who for the first time in their lives had someone to teach them how to recognize letters.

The enthusiasm of the adults who participated in the campaign was really exciting as they learned to trace their first letters and write their names. Congratulations to the youth group.

In this date we distinguished our children who turned years during the month of May, the group of sailors made an exhibition of their work with the techniques of painting and emotion management.

Thank you GLENCORE for your support in the construction of dreams in Colombia, specially from the children of the foundation Mi ciudad con vida, who expressed their most sincere gratitude for believing that through education everything is possible.

Through playful pedagogical activities, the youth group stimulates its executive functions, fundamental in the processes of leadership and empathy, main axes for the construction of life projects that aim at community transformation.

Mothers deserve the best for their great work. The family of Fundación Mi Ciudad Con Vida celebrated the day for our mothers in a great Bingo activity.
