They also conducted the second nutritional screening of the year as a follow-up to the nutritional recovery process and gave all beneficiaries a beautiful gift to remind them how important it is to include vegetables in our diet.
Today, the children of the Viajeros group participated in an educational experience focused on learning and understanding their rights according to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.

The Environmental Guardians group led an inspiring educational campaign in the Lipaya neighborhood community, delivering a message about the importance of preserving and protecting water as a vital resource. Regardless of their age, the teenagers went from house to house to engage in conversations with their neighbors, hoping to have a significant impact on the environmental protection of this community. Thank you very much, Guardians!
This week, students and teachers from the University of the Coast accompanied us to begin a research project on the analysis of executive functions and social behavior in children aged 6 to 12.

With pride and enthusiasm, at the Lipaya headquarters, we celebrated the inauguration of our new Computer Room, a space dedicated to digital learning and innovation. With the generous support of our partners and allies, we now have optimal and necessary equipment to benefit our community.
