Strengthening Socio-Emotional Skills

As part of the “Educating for a Healthy Life” project, an activity was carried out to strengthen the socio-emotional skills and positive interpersonal practices of the children at the Foundation.

The session focused on promoting the recognition and appropriate expression of emotions, as well as developing skills related to empathy, respect, assertive communication, and the peaceful resolution of everyday situations.

Through participatory and educational strategies, spaces for learning and reflection were created, encouraging positive interaction among participants and strengthening relationships based on respect and healthy coexistence.

This initiative contributes to the holistic development of children by providing them with socio-emotional tools that support their well-being and promote the creation of safe, protective, and violence-free environments.

Strengthening Connections

As part of our ongoing initiatives, we conducted a series of home visits aimed at strengthening comprehensive support for our beneficiaries and gaining a closer understanding of their family dynamics, needs, and individual contexts.

These visits provide an opportunity to offer guidance, strengthen relationships, and promote actions that contribute to the well-being and development of families. They also reaffirm the Foundation’s commitment to community engagement and to fostering safe, supportive, and healthy environments.

Our Leadership School: Progress and Growth

During the session held at the Foundation, learning spaces were created to promote awareness of healthy eating and the importance of understanding the nutrients found in different foods. Through explanations and visual resources, participants explored food groups and their contribution to overall well-being, strengthening knowledge that supports the adoption of healthy habits.

The activity also provided an opportunity to share experiences and reflections with the Foundation’s team, highlighting the importance of giving children the tools they need from an early age to understand the value of a balanced diet.

In this way, we continue strengthening educational initiatives focused on health care and the holistic development of our community.

Mindful Eating Workshop

At our Soledad location, we learned about mango, a seasonal fruit that gave us an opportunity to explore more mindful eating habits.

Through a variety of activities, we explored different ways to enjoy mango—as a juice, in salads, in desserts, or simply on its own—while discovering its flavors and versatility as part of a balanced and varied diet.

It was a hands-on learning experience where the children discovered its nutritional benefits and reflected on the importance of including fruit in their daily routines as part of caring for their health and well-being.

Building Family Well-Being

We continue promoting healthy eating habits among our beneficiaries at our Soledad location, with the support of the mothers participating in our Leadership Program. Their active involvement in these initiatives positions them as key agents in strengthening positive habits within their families and communities.

Through these spaces, we aim to raise awareness of the importance of a balanced, nutritious, and appropriate diet for the holistic development of our children and adolescents. In doing so, we strengthen knowledge and practices that contribute to their well-being, health, and quality of life, while encouraging more informed and conscious decisions about nutrition at home.

Special Visits

At our Soledad location, we welcomed our Director, Nury Buendía, and a special guest from Switzerland, who joined the activities held with our children.

Throughout the day, they participated in energizing activities and team-building exercises, while also sharing experiences about activities and practices carried out in their country and their counterparts in Colombia.

It was a valuable opportunity for cultural exchange and meaningful learning, bringing together different perspectives and experiences in a space of connection and mutual enrichment.

Strengthening Community Leadership

Over the next three months, mothers participating in the Leadership Program at our Soledad location will take on roles at the Community Dining Center, supporting areas such as food preparation, logistics, and assisting with the care and accompaniment of the children.

This practical stage follows several months of training that began in August of last year, during which participants strengthened their skills in leadership, teamwork, conflict resolution, healthy eating, socio-emotional development, and essential life skills.

This process is part of the Foundation’s operational transition plan, which seeks to progressively empower the community to take a leading role at the location, strengthening its autonomy and contributing to the long-term sustainability of our projects.

Families Building Healthy Habits

We continue strengthening our families’ commitment to the well-being and healthy nutrition of our children. As part of this process, parents actively participate in guidance and learning sessions focused on improving eating practices at home.

With the support of a nutrition professional, families learn how to plan balanced, nutritious, and affordable meals, incorporating options that contribute to the healthy development and well-being of children. This initiative aims to provide practical tools that families can apply in their everyday lives.

Learning About Healthy Eating

Parents from our Soledad location took part in a hands-on session where they learned about the different food groups, how to distribute them appropriately on the plate, and the right portions for maintaining a balanced diet.

The session also included recommendations for making healthier food choices when shopping, with an emphasis on seasonal and locally sourced products.

We continue strengthening healthy habits that support the health and well-being of our families.
