Spectacular closing show

The Foundation ended the work in 2018 with a great show, where children were the main protagonists of the event.

Attendees enjoyed a fantastic show, where each of the groups showed their talent for dance and dramatization. With unbridled joy and fabulous coordination the children dazzled and filled the donors, parents and special guests with pride, making this event a great success.

Playing learning better

This time it was the turn of the youngest students, who spent a fun afternoon developing didactic activities including, mathematical symbols, numbers and puzzles.

When we use the game in learning spaces everything is more fun and motivating for children; and what’s more, they contribute to the processes by paying attention and following the instructions.

“Mathematics is not a game, but we can learn it by playing”

Second day of rehearsals

The second rehearsal of the end of the year party was developed with great enthusiasm in the facilities of the Foundation in the Lipaya neighbourhood, where each group defined what they will do in the Christmas event. The disposition of the children and youth facilitated the advancement of the program for the closing event.

As a novelty, we had the visit of the English Photographer, professor at the Universidad del Norte, Neal Houghton, who did a photo session with the active participation of the children, who were very warm and receptive to the visitor.

First training space for parents

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.

Art to educate environmentally

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.
