We start with the nutritional assessments of the boys and girls in our Food Security Program at the Soledad headquarters. These assessments are conducted every semester with the aim of identifying nutritional risks and contributing to the monitoring and recovery of the beneficiaries. The activity was carried out in collaboration with the Barranquilla Food Bank and the Nutrition Program of the University of the Atlantic.
We begin this 2024 with great enthusiasm and dynamism, thanks to the attendance of over 60 families at the welcome, socialization, and official opening session of the projects aimed at our beneficiaries.
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 we carried out educational articulation activities, where meetings were held with our higher education students in order to continue the academic orientation process, and with parents from the inclusion program who were provided with information corresponding to the follow-ups and activities of this new year. Likewise, agreements were established and commitment agreements were signed.
The “Mi Ciudad con Vida” Foundation and the company Totto, through the Christmas campaign “Love is Sharing”, delivered Christmas gifts and a snack to 60 children from the community, who enjoyed a morning full of joy, games, and smiles.
The Mi Ciudad con Vida Foundation lights up Christmas for 150 boys and girls from Cabica, sowing joy and hope in this community. The faces of these little ones show us the wonderful and generous nature of their hearts. We thank this community for coming together as volunteers, supporting the logistics of the event, and showing solidarity with its children.
Today, the closure of the projects took place through the grand celebration “Uniting Hearts at Christmas”. Our boys and girls from Barranquilla and Soledad surprised relatives and the attending audience with beautiful presentations of singing, dancing, theater, and art, all based on the values and skills developed in the projects, creating a space of love, companionship, reflection, and family unity. During this event, we had the support of Noticias Caracol and Pepeganga, who also provided moments of great joy.
With much joy, excitement, and enthusiasm, our children from the Children’s Guardians group are preparing a beautiful presentation as a cultural showcase of the Colombian Caribbean. This type of activity promotes cultural appreciation and love for their roots, which will undoubtedly be a great performance at our closing celebration.
The group of young people from the Community Leaders project continues with the training workshops as the basis of a social transformation process, acquiring skills that allow them to have conceptual foundations for the construction of community proposals.
This week, the fire safety course took place, with the support of the Colombian Civil Defense personnel. This activity is part of the risk management system in the area of occupational health and safety, aimed at training or instructing staff and our group of youth leaders in emergency and fire management. With these actions, we aim to prevent any risky situation, providing safety to all our beneficiaries.
