This time our orientation space was focused on mental health under the theme of managing emotions in times of pandemic, where the beneficiaries and their families had the opportunity to listen to recommendations and ask specific questions about how to handle these issues at the family level.
Doctor Eduardo Pertuz, director of the Good Health Clinic, was sharing recommendations with our families, answering questions about healthy habits and how to improve defences in a natural and healthy way.
The School Accompaniment program carries out activities focused on building the habit of reading virtually. This week we gave prominence to the imagination and created stories from images. We also shared readings to teach children hygiene and self-care strategies in times of pandemic in a fun and playful way.
This week we wanted to strengthen physical and mental health through dance. This type of activity allows us to share and interact with our children virtually.
Despite all the difficulties that have arisen during the pandemic related to the lack of access to technological resources and connectivity, our students from the Higher Education Graduates program continue with their studies, taking their classes from home.
The Foundation accompanies them in this process through orientations focused on academic permanence.
The students teach us that with effort and perseverance, there are no such things as impossible dreams
This week we started monitoring the beneficiaries of the Inclusion Program by phone. Through the information provided by parents and educational institutions, we reviewed their academic status and how they are managing their educational processes from home.
This week we focused on self-care and creativity with the teacher Natividad, who taught the families to make their own face masks through Facebook. A very useful biosecurity implement in times of pandemic.
The families had to send us evidence of their participation, sharing their experience
Week by week, our chef Jaime Buendia, an expert in healthy cooking, shares delicious, inexpensive and easily prepared recipes with families through social networks in order to continue eating habits at home that contribute to healthy nutrition.
Likewise, the children have the task of sending photos and videos making these dishes and sharing them with the whole family.
This week we were strengthening the nutritional support for our families through a healthy cooking workshop led by our nutritionist Ana Cecilia Rondon. Using our official Facebook page, Ana taught the children to prepare granola at home as a healthy and affordable children’s snack or breakfast.
In addition, the children shared their videos and photos showing the preparation process and the experience of eating it as a family, remembering our motto… I decide to eat healthy, I want to live healthy and happy!
During this week the children have been followed up with phone calls to educational institutions and to the parents who are homeschooling. Bulletins were requested for the week in order to know the academic results and identify specific cases that require attention.
