| The psychosocial support program, in agreement with the Ministry of Health and Mired IPS, carries out a campaign to prevent sexually transmitted infections and early pregnancies. |
SELF-CONCEPT, BASIS FOR A HEALTHY SELF-ESTEEM
| Through various recreational activities, we addressed themes such as self-knowledge, self-concept and self-acceptance with the children and adolescents, as a strategy to strengthen the set of ideas, physical characteristics and beliefs that each of them has of themselves. Our children recognised their talents, abilities, and strengths that make them special, authentic, and unique. |
Sexual and reproductive rights (my body, my right)
| This week we were accompanied by professionals who are experts in sexuality issues, with the aim of guiding families and adolescents on myths and realities, social programs and health care routes, in order to promote responsible sexuality and reduce early pregnancies. Families actively participated by asking questions and sharing their experiences on the subject. |
Entrepreneurship underway
| With great energy and enthusiasm, the beneficiaries of the Mi Ciudad Con Vida Foundation started the entrepreneurship project, where the purpose is focused on strengthening them in business plans. Interest and great disposition were the predominant theme during the day. The members of the teaching team did their best to carry out their projects and make their ventures the best. Congratulations! |

Psychoactive substances prevention workshop
| The psychosocial support program in alliance with the Barranquilla Health Secretariat and Mired Ips. Children from the adolescent and pre-adolescent group, received a psychoeducational workshop on psychoactive substances, in addition to some strategies to avoid situations of risk of consumption and the route of urgency and emergency CRUE. |
Lipaya site opening
| The Mi Ciudad Con Vida Foundation opened the doors of its site in the Lipaya neighbourhood, serving children, adolescents and parents by alternating, ensuring physical distancing and adhering to necessary biosecurity standards. Throughout the whole of Saturdays and on Tuesday afternoons, the children and young adolescents take part in the training program in life skills; on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, the training is focused on the entrepreneurship and home gardens programs. It is important to clarify that a large part of the child population is being cared for in a virtual way, and only some boys, girls and young people are catered for in the headquarters facilities on the days of the week mentioned. We are grateful to the parents and other family members for supporting their children. |
Educational accompaniment and vocational guidance
| Since the Articulation and Educational Accompaniment project, various vocational guidance activities have been carried out for beneficiaries who are about to finish their academic cycle. Counselling and other tools have been provided, such as the application of standardised tests to identify the areas of knowledge in which they may have the best chance of success, based on their skills and competencies. In addition, they received a virtual training by the University de la Costa about the different programs and scholarships to which they can apply. “The future also exists today in the person, in the form of ideals, hopes, plans and objectives” Abraham H.

COMMUNITY PROJECTS START
| After 7 months in which the pandemic placed us in a state of emergency and the priority revolved around food safety and biosafety measures, the Mi Ciudad Con Vida Foundation restarts the Psycho-affective intervention project virtually. This was usually held on Saturday mornings at the Lipaya Headquarters. Similarly, in this fourth quarter of the year, the Foundation has launched the Entrepreneurship project and the Conscious Cultivating project, which began in the community as of October 5. For this purpose, the team of professionals from the Mi Ciudad Con Vida Foundation was given the task of contacting beneficiary families in order to conduct surveys aimed at identifying interests and needs of the community and prior knowledge about each of the topics and projects mentioned. Once this work was done, schedules and days were established with each of the families to begin with the development of the activities proposed in each project. We warmly welcome our beneficiary families and invite them to join in with enthusiasm and commitment. |
The MCCV Foundation promotes educational processes
Due to the pandemic, various schools had to close leaving some children without education. Taking this problem into account, the Articulation and Educational Accompaniment project, run by the Mi Ciudad Con Vida Foundation, has selected pedagogical guides established by the Ministry of National Education so that these children continue to receive education from home. The beneficiaries will receive periodic monitoring to verify compliance with the activities.
In addition, we sent next year’s enrolment processes for educational institutions to all parents so that they could request and confirm their children’s places.
