Art to educate environmentally

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.

Football integration

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.

Youth group alfabetiza for older adults

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.

Earth day

We celebrated Earth day to remember that the planet and its ecosystems give us life and sustenance, as the Rio Declaration of 1992 reminded us, of fostering this harmony with nature and Mother Earth. 

This day offers us too the opportunity to raise awareness among all the inhabitants of the planet about the problems that affect the Earth and the different life forms that develop in it. On this day we have the support of the National Police, an environmental protection group who, along with our Environmental Guardians, toured the community carrying messages of protection and care for Mother Earth.
