Help 570 children with their educational licenses

As many of you know, our program Skills for Success (S4S) intends to transfer 5 skills to all NDG students. 

With the arrival of the pandemic it has been challenging to continue with this task. However our teachers have done an amazing job. 

This year we are happy to be sharing with you some advances of how our students have had the chance to access more tools to develop their technology skills and their emotional intelligence.

Starting with technology skills we have amazing news! With the money raised on Giving Tuesday we bought the first 45 tablets, covering all students from highschool. We are using a special platform that allows our students to work with technology from home and helps the school to avoid the use of lots and lots of paper. Our students come to the school to get content updates every 15 days! We are still fundraising to buy more tablets and cover secondary school, 6th, 5th and 4th grades from primary school. 

In other news, our psychologists have been implementing new ways to help the students deal with their emotions at home. The new project consists in asking the kids to create different containers and tools for different emotions, for example a bottle of tears, a bottle of calmness, the wheel of anger, and a diary of emotions. Kids are asked to write down what makes them feel each emotion and put it inside, this way they become more conscious of what they feel, why and and it is easier for them to find solutions or seek help.
