This week at the Soledad headquarters, we had a visit from the Barranquilla Zoo Foundation to carry out various awareness activities on animal conservation and citizen participation with an environmental focus. During these activities, the children were able to learn about important aspects of the jaguar, one of the candidates in the “zooelections.”
In our nutritional workshops, we teach parents how they can feed their families consistently, consciously, and lovingly. Each workshop includes a theoretical and practical space with ingredients, tasting for everyone, and a nutritional guide for replicating the recipe at home.
This week, we focused on how to prepare plant-based meat using soy protein, as it is a versatile food that can be included in different preparations.
Young people from the “Community Leaders” project participated in the forum “Voices with Value,” a learning space where different perspectives on issues and common conflicts in communities were shared.

The beneficiaries of the Soledad headquarters had an unforgettable day at the Megua Biotematic Park, a place where boys and girls were able to have a close encounter with nature.

This week at the Soledad headquarters, we worked on the proper use of items on the table, body posture, and the appropriate words to address the people with whom we share during mealtime. A polite person handles themselves with ease at the table, both in using utensils and in interacting with others.
During this session, our children and young people carried out community outreach activities, raising awareness about recycling and environmental care. Additionally, on this occasion, the youngest ones were able to enjoy spaces where art, imagination, and creativity served as channels to express their emotions.
During this session at our Lipaya headquarters, we received a visit from officials of the Colombian Civil Defense, who provided training on first aid to the Environmental Guardians and workshop leaders. These types of activities are important as they prepare us by providing the necessary tools for any eventuality and contribute to ensuring the overall safety of everyone.
Young people from the Leadership Project had the opportunity to attend as guests to a Public Forum organized by “Fe y Alegría” to socialize early childhood services in the southwest of Barranquilla and to inform the community about how the allocated resources were invested and how much child population has benefited. With this experiential activity, we wanted to show the young people how civic participation and social control are exercised to ensure the fulfillment of the rights of a community.
A beautiful day took place this week at our headquarters, within the framework of the month of love and friendship.
