This week we began the food services at our Nutritional Care Center, where we welcome our boys and girls with a symbolic healthy route, in which at each step we describe the importance of proper nutrition. With this pedagogical strategy, we wanted to show the children all the things we will learn this year.
This week at the Soledad headquarters, we welcomed the parents. During this session, a space for participation was opened where parents expressed the current issues present in the neighborhood. Some suggestions for activities for the projects to be worked on this year arose, and candidates were selected for the parents’ committee. Additionally, the coexistence manual was shared, and commitment agreements were signed for its compliance.
The psychosocial support program continues with home visits to select boys and girls who would be entering this year to be part of the Food Security project.
This week, at the Soledad headquarters, we welcomed parents to begin our nutritional workshops, a complementary training process for the nutritional recovery of our beneficiaries. In these workshops, Chef Jaime Buendía taught us how to prepare delicious zucchini burgers, a vegetable rich in potassium, folic acid, iron, and magnesium, ideal for strengthening our immune system, improving digestion, and keeping us energized throughout the day.
This week, home visits to the new beneficiaries joining the Food Security program began at the Soledad headquarters. These processes are crucial for identifying levels of socioeconomic vulnerability and understanding the family and nutritional history of the children.
The Food Security program acknowledges beneficiaries and their families who have completed a training and nutritional recovery process of over three years, achieving a healthy weight and acquiring knowledge in healthy eating that will enable them to maintain their well-being in the long term. We appreciate their dedication and commitment, which have allowed them to successfully graduate and conclude this process with joy.
Meetings are being held this week with allied entities from the psychosocial support program to renew legal requirements and learn about strategic plans for community work in 2024.
Since this week, the working group at the Soledad headquarters has been organizing the strategic planning of activities and important aspects for the construction of the 2024 work plan.
