This week at the Soledad site we had an activity with Heartland Alliance International, an organization committed to the social welfare of the communities that live in Latin America and the Caribbean through the promotion of human rights. Parents received training on health and self- care and a biosafety kit with elements for personal care.
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.
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.
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.
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.
At the Mi Ciudad Con Vida Foundation, we do not forget the birthdays of our beneficiaries. This Saturday at the Lipaya Headquarters we shared and celebrated the birthdays of children and young people who have one more year of life up to the date. We are happy to always make our guys feel special!
This week at the Barranquilla Headquarters we had our first day of Vocational Orientation, aimed to young beneficiaries who are in their last year of secondary school. A scale of vocational preferences was applied to promote the construction of a life project and that our beneficiaries take into account their skills, interests, and aptitudes when choosing a technical, technological, or professional carrer.
In the Soledad headquarters we take advantage of this holiday season to develop different activities where the children of the Foundation explored their artistic skills, and additionally learned healthy habits that strengthen their socio-emotional development through a pedagogical booklet that guides the process. Crafts, drawings, dance, relaxation exercises, board games, reading stories, and adventures in the kitchen with fun recipes were part of this activity.
At the Barranquilla headquarters, the beneficiaries involved in the Huertas project begin to transplant lettuce, tomato, radish plants, and other plants from the seedbeds into the soil and portable orchards. The classroom workshop begins to germinate and grow. Young people with gardens at home carry out the same activities in their yards. During these activities, children not only promote environmental support, but also encourage socialization, teamwork, and creativity.
The youngest children of the psycho-affective group worked on topics about the family, the types of family, as well as playful activities to emphasize on union, teamwork, and concentration. The activity was called “crossing the river”, in which the children had to carry a ball on a spoon to the finish line, while crossing some obstacles.
La Fundación Mi Ciudad con Vida, creada en el año 2000, es una organización privada e independiente, sin ánimo de lucro. Colombia es un país asolado por la violencia. La crisis social, económica y política se traduce en un nivel muy alto de pobreza extrema . Los niños y los jóvenes son los más afectados por este fenómeno.
