With a fun game called “fortune-teller guess what food tests today” we conducted a contest that consisted of blindfolding the child who had to then guess the name of the food just by trying it. A creative way for children to dare to explore new flavours and textures.

Mothers’ Day is a special date where we value the heroines of the home who with their effort and dedication make a functioning family life a reality. We therefore celebrated it in a big way in the Centro Comercial Nuestro Atlántico Mall, with our 36 mothers enjoying an afternoon of serenading, flowers, raffles and prizes. An unforgettable event! Thanks to the management and support of the First Lady of Solitude, The Centro Comercial Nuestro Atlántico Mall, and the leaders of the Barrios Manantial and Nuevo Horizonte. Everything is possible with community union.

Good nutrition and a balanced diet helps children to be healthy, strong and willing to learn, therefore we focus on motivating our children to eat innovative, healthy and nutritious foods through delicious preparations and food presentation.

The celebration of Children’s Day is an important date to highlight the rights of children. Throughout yesterday we had a beautiful celebration with pintucaritas, trampolines, colouring activities, dancing, contests, games to promote the care of the environment, prizes and refreshments – all with the support of the Municipality of Soledad and the EDUMAS (Establishment of Urban Development and Environment of Soledad) enabling 200 children from the neighbourhood Nuevo Horizonte to enjoy the festivities.

The Sweet Festival is an Afro-Colombian tradition whose origins lie in the 16th century in one of the oldest Cartagenero towns, San Bacilio de Palenque. Since Easter, families, friends and neighbours gathered to prepare and eat sweets. For this reason, today we had our first sweet festival! Made with the love of our children’s mothers for all the children in the dining room, who enjoyed these delicious and sweet experiences.

The birthday celebration strengthens social skills and self-esteem in children. Therefore, every two months we all get together to share a beautiful birthday cake and best wishes.

According to the World Health Organisation, health is the complete state of physical, mental and social wellbeing, so we took advantage of the date to examine the habits that we should acquire. Throughout the week, we put emphasis on play-learn activities emphasising the importance of maintaining a healthy diet with an area that we called nutritional space where the children were questioned about their favourite fruit or vegetable and the benefits they bring to our health. Likewise, we used the space for some physical exercise with a Rumbatherapy session.

The reading, to wake the imagination and curiosity of the children, also contributes knowledge and new topics of conversation that strengthen social relationships. This week, throughout service at the dining room, we have opened a space to share stories, tales and fables that promote healthy habits and participation.

Today we highlighted Men’s day through lovely messages of well wishes and the creation of contests which showed the positive role men play in society.

Within our nutritional themes we open spaces for cognitive stimulation. This time we made a “soup of letters” contest where we worked on the attention, memory and mental quickness of our children. It was a fun game that allowed us to share and learn.
