Because the health of our families and the prevention of the spread of the virus is essential in this time of pandemic, we have delivered 640 reusable masks for children and adults, accompanied by self-care recommendations at home, led by our higher education beneficiaries; the sense of belonging manages to transform communities
Because dreams can go on.
The economic problems caused by the pandemic have brought with it difficulties for the permanence of higher education students through virtual, distance learning and the other alternatives proposed by the National Government. The universities have been concerned about the possibility that the dropout rates will be high and they are estimated to be between 25% and 50% for the second half of 2020.
“This society needs to have young people with technical, technological and professional educational skills. The increase in drop out rates will deepen the difficulties we have as a society to be able to resolve the worst crisis we have in history ”. (ASCUN 2020)
Through the Higher Education program, our beneficiaries (8), students of technical, technological and professional careers, are given tablets and SIM cards with data so that they can continue with their educational processes virtually. In the face of adversity, resilience is our best Higher Education tool continues with your life project.
A light of hope in the midst of covid-19.
Like a light of hope, our 210 children and their families received the second delivery of food aid; Faced with the impact of the health crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, there are added challenges related to guaranteeing the food security of people living in vulnerable circumstances, who already face hunger due to the impossibility of generating sufficient income.
We invite solidarity with these families who live from the day-to-day economy and informal work, to whom self-care measures against the virus created a great barrier to access to their daily sustenance.
This time our orientation space was focused on mental health under the theme of managing emotions in times of pandemic, where the beneficiaries and their families had the opportunity to listen to recommendations and ask specific questions about how to handle these issues at the family level.
Doctor Eduardo Pertuz, director of the Good Health Clinic, was sharing recommendations with our families, answering questions about healthy habits and how to improve defences in a natural and healthy way.
The School Accompaniment program carries out activities focused on building the habit of reading virtually. This week we gave prominence to the imagination and created stories from images. We also shared readings to teach children hygiene and self-care strategies in times of pandemic in a fun and playful way.
This week we wanted to strengthen physical and mental health through dance. This type of activity allows us to share and interact with our children virtually.
Despite all the difficulties that have arisen during the pandemic related to the lack of access to technological resources and connectivity, our students from the Higher Education Graduates program continue with their studies, taking their classes from home.
The Foundation accompanies them in this process through orientations focused on academic permanence.
The students teach us that with effort and perseverance, there are no such things as impossible dreams
This week we started monitoring the beneficiaries of the Inclusion Program by phone. Through the information provided by parents and educational institutions, we reviewed their academic status and how they are managing their educational processes from home.
This week we focused on self-care and creativity with the teacher Natividad, who taught the families to make their own face masks through Facebook. A very useful biosecurity implement in times of pandemic.
The families had to send us evidence of their participation, sharing their experience
