The importance of sustainable and healthy eating habits

In the most recent Nutrition Workshop for parents, we made two delicious recipes that highlight the benefits of chickpeas, a protein that helps with healthy bones and muscles, and eggplant, which supports good eyesight if eaten frequently. These workshops promote sustainable and healthy eating habits based on the consumption of vegetable proteins and a variety of unprocessed or minimally processed foods, all of which help maintain good health.

Recycled Materas

This week the children and young people who participated in the Community Vegetable Garden project in Lipaya developed their creativity and artistic abilities by creating their pots with recycled plastic bottles. These pots will each have a plant from the vegetable garden, and will be sold to the public in Barranquilla to fund an educational field trip for the children.

The journey that food makes through our body

At the Soledad site we continue with our healthy eating mission, promoting it through different activities that strengthen the adaptation and consumption of foods rich in vitamins and minerals that keep our physical health stable. This week we worked on the digestive system, making a visual representation, and explaining the journey that food makes through each organ with an illustrative sheet that the children were able to decipher and put together.

A pleasant visit

Over the past few weeks, the director of the Foundation was visiting our site and observing the different projects that are carried out in them, joining in with the children during the activities, along with generous guests, who donated Kindle Paperwhite Kids that include access to thousands of books. We are grateful that these tools will be key to strengthening the reading skills of the beneficiaries.

Let’s learn values

This Saturday, the teachers of the Home Gardens project at the Lipaya site taught the beneficiaries of the Foundation the importance of values such as respect, tolerance and teamwork through the preparation of posters made with recycled cardboard, and in this way promote a climate of harmony and better coexistence both in the Foundation and in society.

This is how we end our recreational vacation   

In the Soledad Headquarters, we finished our Recreational Vacation. These last three weeks were full of fun, imagination, and great learning, which took us every day to a magical place. The last station of the series of activities was the Estación del Color; a space to play and meet different challenges, one of them was the twister of emotions, a fun activity where we teach our children to express their feelings and emotions.

We resume the school of parents in Barranquilla

This Wednesday we resume the activities of the Educando en Casa project, at the Barranquilla Headquarters. The parents of the beneficiaries attended these activities in which the issues related to the distribution of tasks in the home, and the resolution of family conflicts were addressed. This project is important for a comprehensive intervention because the family is fundamental in the healthy development of children.
