The Mi Ciudad Vida Foundation, in partnership with Soledad’s Health Secretary, trained 17 mothers from the offices of Barranquilla and Soledad with the objective of promoting health, education and work opportunities for the community.

Officials from the Mi Ciudad Con Vida Foundation were touring the Nuevo Horizonte neighbourhood, giving out gifts and receiving smiles from all the children who were there.

This week we began the preparations for the closing event for the year.

All of the children and parents of the dining room are preparing themselves with great joy and enthusiasm, rehearsing the presentations and the putting the finishing touches to the acts for their first closing show.

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.

During this week the cafeteria has been developing educational activities with the children around healthy eating as October 16 was proclaimed World Food Day by the FAO with the purpose of raising awareness around the world of the global food problem and to strengthen solidarity in the fight against hunger, malnutrition and poverty.

Healthy nutrition is important for the growth and development of children, therefore the School Room has been doing educational and playful activities to teach the children good habits, such as washing their hands before eating, the use of cutlery and the importance of consuming fruits and vegetables daily.

We have inaugurated the school dining room in Soledad, Atlántico! In the presence of the children and their parents, we held an opening event to welcome them to the great family FUNDACIÓN MI CIUDAD CON VIDA.

The next day the dining room opened it’s doors for the first time to receive the 60 children who now receive a healthy and balanced lunch in support of their school day. With much love, we have prepared ourselves to provide the best of services and at the end of the day all children very satisfied and happy.

During this week, the school canteen located in the municipality of Soledad is carrying out psychological tests on the children with the aim of obtaining information about their learning capacity, behaviors and mental health.

This Sunday, October 7, will mark the official opening of this project in the community.
