Every Saturday, upon arrival, our children from the Travelers group engage in an exciting and fun activity to recognize their emotions. Guided by our facilitators, they explore how they feel and learn to identify and manage their emotions positively. This practice not only strengthens their emotional intelligence but also creates a conducive environment for learning and harmonious interaction among the participants.
Educational articulation processes that promote integral development
From the educational articulation program, periodic visits are made to educational institutions to verify the attendance of all beneficiaries, contributing to the reduction of school dropout rates. This week, we visited six institutions in the municipality of Soledad, including Jorge Artel and Our Lady of Guadalupe.
Self-esteem and well-being session
This week at the Soledad headquarters, we wanted to highlight the work of the mothers in the social volunteering program with a facial cleansing session, a space for recreation, relaxation, and self-esteem to remind them how important and valuable they are to us. For this activity, we had the support of the Academia Sandra Foundation.
Let’s learn different ways to preserve fruits at home.
This week in our nutritional workshop for parents, we learned preservation methods for fruits. This is a food security strategy to reduce food waste and simultaneously take advantage of fresh produce during harvest season by purchasing enough to store. Additionally, parents were able to enjoy a delicious and healthy dessert made with preserved fruits.
Academic Visits Day
This week, at the Lipaya site, we visited the schools of our beneficiaries to verify their attendance and identify potential risk factors that could lead to school dropout. These activities allow us to intervene preventively, offering timely support and solutions to ensure that students can continue their education. During the visits, we met with teachers and administrators to discuss the academic performance and well-being of the beneficiaries.
Beach cleaning day in Barranquilla
This Wednesday, on World Environment Day, the group “Guardianes Ambientales” carried out a successful beach cleaning day in Barranquilla. These young leaders participated enthusiastically, collecting waste to conserve the environment and promote ecological responsibility. Equipped with gloves and bags, they managed to remove a significant amount of trash, including plastics and glass, thereby contributing to the protection of marine life and the coastal ecosystem.
Comprehensive health session at Lipaya headquarters
This weekend, the Foundation organized a successful comprehensive health day aimed at children and their families. During the event, medical and dental evaluations, as well as vaccinations, were carried out, providing specialized care and personalized advice to enhance the health and well-being of attendees. Participants also enjoyed a supportive and welcoming environment, reinforcing the importance of health care within the community. The Foundation remains committed to promoting the overall well-being of beneficiary families.
We started training processes with SENA.
This week, the psychosocial support program initiates training processes for parents in partnership with the National Learning Service (SENA), aiming to promote social integration, empowerment, and employment opportunities.
Community leaders in recreational and training spaces
This week, the kids from the Community Leaders group held a recreational activity at the cinema, where they had the opportunity to strengthen group cohesion and teamwork in diverse environments. They were also invited to a training session organized by the Casa de la Mujer and the Women’s Network of the Atlantic to learn more about gender-based violence and sexual and reproductive rights.
Goals With Purpose
This Saturday, the children from the “Healthy Life” group participated in a sports activity aimed at promoting essential values such as respect, tolerance, and teamwork. Through various dynamics and games, emphasis was placed on using key words so that the children understood the importance of expressing gratitude, asking for things kindly, seeking permission, and offering apologies. By the end of the event, the participants not only demonstrated their sports skills but also showed a better understanding and practice of these fundamental values, reinforcing the activity’s objective.
