Project Report | Jan 3, 2024
Nuestro fin de ano / Our end of the year

By Jeannette Ruiz | Project Leader

Recibe un saludo de paz en este nuevo año que comienza.  Deseamos compartirte los logros de estos meses finales del año 2023.  Entre los meses de septiembre a noviembre tuvimos los Talleres Estima Virtual con la participación entusiasta de mujeres y hombres que trabajaron los temas presentados, buscando mejorar su ser interior y sus vidas.  Una de las participantes nos compartió lo siguiente: “Aprendí que las heridas se pueden sanar y que debemos de tratarlas. Amé el taller, autoevaluar donde he sanado y donde me falta trabajar en mí”. 

Como parte de nuestro trabajo con la niñez, estuvimos visitando la Escuela Francisco Degetau con un ciclo de DanzaMovimiento Terapia para los niños de 3er grado.  A través de la música y el movimiento corporal los estudiantes aprendieron a identificar sus emociones y a utilizar técnicas de autorregulación.  En la Escuela SU Sabana Hoyos conectamos con los niños de 4to grado a través de los talleres de Musicoterapia.  El uso de la música ayuda a los pequeños a expresarse abiertamente y hablar de sus emociones, a la vez que la terapista les enseña a manejarlas positivamente.

En el mes de octubre tuvimos la oportunidad de llevar un taller de DanzaMovimiento Terapia a un grupo de Mujeres Dominicanas.  Durante esta bonita actividad se fomentó la escucha, empatía y desarrollo de la creatividad a nivel grupal a través del movimiento.  Estaban muy felices por el encuentro y la experiencia.

Culminamos el año con el “Día familiar: Preparándonos para la Navidad”.  En esta tarde compartimos con familias diferentes actividades de arte, música, manualidades y cuentos para los niños, sus padres y abuelitos.  Tuvimos la participación de microempresas locales.  Celebramos así el inicio de la Navidad.

Les deseamos un feliz y solidario 2024.

Greetings of peace at the start of new year. We want to share with you the achievements of these final months of the year 2023. Between September, and November we had the Virtual Esteem Workshops with the enthusiastic participation of women and men who worked on the topics presented, seeking to improve their inner being and their lives. One of the participants shared the following: "I learned that wounds can be healed, and that we must treat them. I loved the workshop, self-evaluating where I have healed, and where I still need to work on myself."

As part of our work with children, we visited the Francisco Degetau School with a cycle of DanceMovement Therapy for 3rd grade children. Through music and body movement, students learned to identify their emotions and use self-regulation techniques. At SU Sabana Hoyos School we connected with 4th grade children through Music Therapy workshops. The use of music helps children to express themselves openly and talk about their emotions, while the therapist teaches them how to manage them positively.

In October we had the opportunity to bring a DanceMovement Therapy workshop to a group of Dominican Women. During this beautiful activity, listening, empathy, and the development of creativity were encouraged. They were very happy with the meeting, and the experience. We end the year with "Family Day: Getting Ready for Christmas." It was an afternoon with families where we shared different activities of art, music, crafts, and storytime for the children, their parents, and grandparents. We had the participation of local micro-enterprises. This is how we celebrated the beginning of Christmas. We wish you a happy, and solidary 2024.
