This week, through our entrepreneurship program and in collaboration with the National Learning Service SENA, we started an exciting jewelry-making course. This space will enable the mothers and guardians of our members to learn and develop new techniques, acquiring skills in crafting various accessories.
The Friendship Journey
In the Soledad branch, this week we carried out the “Friendship Journey,” conducting various activities that promote the value of friendship and create spaces of joy, fun, happiness, and enthusiasm. All the participants wrote messages to their best friends through an imaginary mailbox and placed them in a mailbox for everyone to read. They also took photos with their best friends and shared some meaningful details.
Providing them with these types of experiences strengthens their self-esteem and teaches them that, no matter where we are, there will always be a moment to share and highlight the qualities that make our fellow companions fabulous people.
Knowledge day
Global warming and native fauna were the topics addressed this week with our boys and girls. Activities such as recognizing endemic species of Colombia, screening documentaries, active participation, and idea generation were conducted. This made the morning of learning very enjoyable.
Participative leadership
This week, young people from the leadership project carried out various recreational activities aimed at strengthening civic participation, taking into account the opinions of team members, which contribute to a higher likelihood of effective and efficient solutions to a specific problem.
Art and nutrition
Throughout the week, the Soledad branch was engaged in artistic and drawing activities focused on nutrition. These activities served an aesthetic purpose, aiming to enhance the enjoyment of the dining experience and encourage the process of adaptation and acceptance of food.
Recreational spaces within the family dynamics.
Within the “Educating at Home” project aimed at parents from the Soledad branch, we carried out activities related to the importance of recreational spaces in family dynamics, conducting some games that parents can replicate at home with their children. These activities promote togetherness, communication, and strengthen emotional bonds.
Forming leaders and transforming lives
Today, we share with you this video, which portrays some of the results of the work we have been doing for over 20 years in the Lipaya community. Thanks to everyone who has made this possible!
Recycling and Learning Session
During this session, the boys and girls from the foundation contributed to environmental conservation. Recycled paper allows giving a second life to this material, primarily composed of cellulose fibers from tree wood. Additionally, they learned about psychoeducational topics such as assertive conflict resolution, cooperative play, and teamwork.
Promoting sustainable development.
This week, at the Soledad headquarters, we had a visit from Nu3, a social organization that works for the socioeconomic, emotional, and nutritional development of families in vulnerable situations. This meeting took place with the aim of getting to know our Nutritional Care Center and exchanging knowledge and technical skills.
Strategies against bullying
A morning of activities was carried out with our children and adolescents. We worked through playful activities in processes against school bullying, taking into account assertive communication, interpersonal relationships, and empathy.
