This Saturday the children members of the Psicoafectivo project in Lipaya made themselves a Christmas mural that they would show at the Christmas closing of the Foundation. They have decided through art, to show a message of love and union for this Christmas.

This week the foundation’s youth group was developing volunteer activities in the community in alliance with the community action board of the Lipaya neighborhood; the volunteer activities were aimed at the elderly from the recreational point of view.

This activity had several purposes: that young people could have an approach with the leaders of the neighborhood, identify some problems of their community and have an experience of community work.

This Saturday, the youngest beneficiaries of the Lipaya headquarters had the opportunity to participate in the Recreational Vacation activities carried out by the Mayor’s Office of Barranquilla in the Lipaya neighborhood. During this day they performed artistic activities, played on trampolines, inflatables and much more. Games are essential to develop motor and social skills in children.

With the psycho-affective intervention project we promote educational spaces to strengthen responsible decision making related to sexual and reproductive health, this time we did it in alliance with the Red Joven Profamilia, a group of young people trained to teach other young people about sexual and reproductive rights. During this meeting, different playful and pedagogical activities were carried out to resolve concerns and identify myths and realities about sexuality, contraceptive methods and health care routes to prevent pregnancy.

The youth and pre-juvenile groups of the Lipaya neighborhood had the opportunity to participate in sexual and reproductive education activities led by members of the Profamilia Youth Network. These activities are important for young people of the Foundation to know their sexual and reproductive rights, in addition to learning about the correct use of contraceptive methods.

This Saturday, nutrition professionals voluntarily conducted a Nutritional Health Brigade at the Barranquilla headquarters of the Foundation. The brigade aimed to develop a nutritional diagnosis to the population of children and adolescents beneficiaries, perform nutritional assessments to each one and activities to promote healthy lifestyle habits.

On Saturday, November 12, the young people of the Higher Education group of the Lipaya Headquarters enjoyed a special day at Ranch Texas, this time not as volunteers, but as the fundamental members that they are. They shared their experiences as beneficiaries of the Foundation, and experiences during their studies. These activities are important to strengthen the friendship, fellowship, sense of belonging of the children, and also to highlight their valuable work as volunteers.

The entire work team of the Foundation gathered at an integration dinner to celebrate the achievements based on the commitment and contributions of this 2022. It is important to highlight the role of each one of us, as we make everything possible.
