So much to learn, so much to do

In August, the Community Program had their final training of this year. The meeting was also attended by some fathers, mothers and children of projectable capabilities that we are attending to.

To share this time and space with the families means a lot to us because it gives us the opportunity to know each other better and learn together.

At the beginning of this meeting the coordinators reaffirmed their commitment to continue supporting the children, families and communities, and then expressed in a very deep and loving way their responsibility and effectiveness during reflections, testimonies and dynamics with which we worked with the parents.

Then there was much to share and learn. We dealt with different and very varied topics such as nutrition, therapy techniques, relaxation, reflexology, an exchange of good practices to encourage the cooperation of the family members in the therapy, the benefits of relaxing the mind through the colouring of mandalas and the importance of reading.

On Saturday night there was an intense cultural rescue on the Rights of the Child in the Andean conception and on Sunday we visited the Alternative Campesino School of Pomabamba to learn about ecological construction, environmental protection, harvesting and recycling of water.

Now, on returning to our communities, we are left with the challenge of sharing the lessons with our families and Parent Groups. There is much to do, and we will do it heartily.
