Today, we share with you this video, which portrays some of the results of the work we have been doing for over 20 years in the Lipaya community. Thanks to everyone who has made this possible!
Recycling and Learning Session
During this session, the boys and girls from the foundation contributed to environmental conservation. Recycled paper allows giving a second life to this material, primarily composed of cellulose fibers from tree wood. Additionally, they learned about psychoeducational topics such as assertive conflict resolution, cooperative play, and teamwork.
Promoting sustainable development.
This week, at the Soledad headquarters, we had a visit from Nu3, a social organization that works for the socioeconomic, emotional, and nutritional development of families in vulnerable situations. This meeting took place with the aim of getting to know our Nutritional Care Center and exchanging knowledge and technical skills.
Strategies against bullying
A morning of activities was carried out with our children and adolescents. We worked through playful activities in processes against school bullying, taking into account assertive communication, interpersonal relationships, and empathy.
Pedagogical tools that strengthen the training process
The youth participating in the project “Community Leaders of Southwest Barranquilla” have a training manual that includes all the content of the training workshops, presented in a creative and graphic manner, with language adapted to the youth population. This manual incorporates various pedagogical elements that facilitate the development of communication skills and provide comprehensive care pathways to protect human rights and promote civic participation.
Sowing Leaders
In this environmental leaders session, responsibility, teamwork, and perseverance were emphasized. Groups were assigned to plant seeds and maintain the workshop area, as well as to monitor the growing plants. The seeds planted included cilantro, lettuce, bell pepper, and eggplant.
Strengthening our communication skills.
During this session at our Lipaya headquarters, activities related to communication, reading comprehension, and leadership were carried out. These activities were conducted in a playful and pedagogical manner, reinforcing life skills, and had the enthusiastic participation of our beneficiaries.
What benefits do red fruits and vegetables provide?
Throughout the month, participants in the Food Security program at the Soledad branch have learned about the importance of consuming fruits and vegetables, recognizing their multiple benefits based on their color. This week, we conducted various association activities to emphasize the importance of consuming red-colored fruits and vegetables, as they contribute to maintaining good cardiovascular health, improving memory, reducing the risk of diseases such as cancer, and protecting the urinary system.
Week of fun and learning
This week, along with the team of environmental guardians, we continued with sessions of preparation, monitoring, and transplanting of seedlings in the garden. In addition, we carried out playful and pedagogical activities led by the youth environmental guardians for our children’s group, strengthening the development of life skills such as empathy and interpersonal relationships.
Great parents workshop
The first Orientation and Awareness Workshop for parents and guardians of our affiliates was held, with the aim of providing various spaces where they could reflect on parenting guidelines and the management of ICT, as well as the importance of recycling and global warming. Additionally, they participated in a healthy cooking workshop, where they learned about the importance of mindful and balanced eating and tasted different recipes.
