Within the framework of educational workshops with parents and children, we have highlighted the importance of breakfast, considered the most important meal of the day, as it provides the necessary nutrients and energy to successfully start school activities. Today, we worked on identifying the appropriate times for breakfast and the food groups we should prioritize to start the day with full energy.

One of the main objectives of the food security program is for children to learn how to eat healthily. This week, we conducted a pedagogical activity using the Nutritional Pyramid through a puzzle, where participants used their creativity and ingenuity to arrange the pieces while also internalizing the food groups and how we can combine them in each meal of the day.

This week, the boys and girls in the food security program participated in a fun and colorful activity where they learned to identify the colors of different foods. Using paint and their own hands, the little artists appreciated the variety of healthy foods that are part of their daily lives. It was a day filled with joy, learning, and lots of color!

This month, our nutritional workshop focused on strategies for preparing healthy meals quickly, considering that there are parents with multiple responsibilities. Our chef Jaime Buendía shared various food options that can be bought, handled, and prepared in advance, such as salads, pasta, vegetable protein croquettes, empanadas, soups, etc.

This week, at the Soledad center, parents participating in the Entrepreneurial Behavior course with the National Learning Service (SENA) are developing their business proposals in a structured manner, identifying market needs using the Canvas model.

Throughout this month, we have conducted association and semantic awareness exercises to promote children’s adaptation and acceptance of new fruits and vegetables. This activity involved choosing a random letter from the alphabet, and the children had to write down a fruit and a vegetable that started with that letter, describing their taste and color.

At our Soledad location, we are celebrating as several of our children have birthdays this month. We join in with a delicious birthday cake, recognizing that another year of life is always an opportunity to achieve dreams and goals.

The children from the Soledad site experienced an exciting educational outing, promoting mental and physical health in a different setting, where they could play in the park, engage in various motor coordination exercises, dance, and participate in a mixed football match that encouraged healthy competition and teamwork.

From the psychosocial support program, activities promoting the mental health of our boys and girls are conducted. This time, we had the support of Academia Sandra to organize a spa session that included body massages, relaxing music, and aromatherapy, aiming to generate a state of well-being and emotional self-regulation.

From the educational articulation program, periodic visits are made to educational institutions to verify the attendance of all beneficiaries, contributing to the reduction of school dropout rates. This week, we visited six institutions in the municipality of Soledad, including Jorge Artel and Our Lady of Guadalupe.
