This week we began the preparations for the closing event for the year.
All of the children and parents of the dining room are preparing themselves with great joy and enthusiasm, rehearsing the presentations and the putting the finishing touches to the acts for their first closing show.
We are all excited about the end of the year party; The first trial was a success. The commitment and dedication were evident throughout the days by the children of the Foundation. In addition, part of the general program was defined.
This is already taking shape!
The Parent School is a space that enables collective reflection contributing to the educational task that the family has. On this occasion, and with the help of a series of training activities focused on healthy nutrition, all of the members of the workshop learned about the food groups that should be eaten more frequently and those that we should avoid consuming.
With the support of the Colombian Civil Defense, our group the Environmental Guardians of the Foundation held an art workshop with messages alluding to the care of the environment. We also worked on perseverance, teamwork and respect for our partner’s turn.
The activity was carried out in a house in the community where neighbourhood children from outside the Foundation were also brought into the group.
The artistic day was a success, managing to reflect on caring for the environment and strengthening ties between the Foundation and other important participants in this sector, such as Civil Defense and the community.
Two groups, “Los Guerreros” and “Guardianes Ambientales” left for one of the city’s synthetic football pitches where they participated in a football competition, which apart from breaking the daily routine, is fantastic for mental health, teamwork and integration.
Participation, enthusiasm and joy was the order of the day with everyone finishing the games totally satisfied and with the desire to repeat it all again.
During this week the cafeteria has been developing educational activities with the children around healthy eating as October 16 was proclaimed World Food Day by the FAO with the purpose of raising awareness around the world of the global food problem and to strengthen solidarity in the fight against hunger, malnutrition and poverty.
Healthy nutrition is important for the growth and development of children, therefore the School Room has been doing educational and playful activities to teach the children good habits, such as washing their hands before eating, the use of cutlery and the importance of consuming fruits and vegetables daily.
The youth group of the Foundation again developed and carried out excellent social work by initiating a literacy campaign for older adults, who for the first time in their lives had someone to teach them how to recognize letters.
The enthusiasm of the adults who participated in the campaign was really exciting as they learned to trace their first letters and write their names. Congratulations to the youth group.
We have inaugurated the school dining room in Soledad, Atlántico! In the presence of the children and their parents, we held an opening event to welcome them to the great family FUNDACIÓN MI CIUDAD CON VIDA.
The next day the dining room opened it’s doors for the first time to receive the 60 children who now receive a healthy and balanced lunch in support of their school day. With much love, we have prepared ourselves to provide the best of services and at the end of the day all children very satisfied and happy.
During this week, the school canteen located in the municipality of Soledad is carrying out psychological tests on the children with the aim of obtaining information about their learning capacity, behaviors and mental health.
This Sunday, October 7, will mark the official opening of this project in the community.
