Together and in good spirits

We were already looking forward to the beginning of February - not because of Carnival, but because the first training meeting of the Community Program was on the horizon. We imagined a special meeting, something more "for the soul", to reposition ourselves, to look inward and to start this new year with courage.

As the people responsible for the Program, it is also our task and our commitment to take care of the caregivers, that is to say, the rural coordinators who accompany the children with projectable capacities and their families in their homes and communities.

In this sense, the visit of Diana Arroyave and Jaime Roldán, from Medellín, Colombia, who are traveling through South America in their travelling house, came as a great surprise. In their project they offer pedagogical experiences in movement, sharing and learning about books, reading, writing and the development of the self through biodance.

Diana and Jaime accompanied us for a whole day - a day that was made short by how entertaining and fun it was to learn new possibilities of reading and writing. We are already looking forward to bringing all the news to the children in the Community Program and thus improving our Reading for Others skills.

At the end of the day, Diana and Jaime took us into the magical world of our inner selves - dancing, smiling and sharing through music, movement and silence.

Thank you, Diana and Jaime, for being and for being with us.
