Project Report | Jun 7, 2016
We went for camping :) Nos fuimos a acampar

Thanks to you support, our children can learn while playing and having fun! Last month, during two days and one night, 14 children from CRAN were able to live the experience of a wonderful camp.

“We ate marshmallows, we had competitions, my team found the treasure, we wrote letters, some of which were secret, we made paper flowers, we had lots of fun. I want to go back to a camp, but at least for 10 days” 10-year-old Luz tells us.

What 9-year-old Danna loved the most was to sleep on tents and the animals that they saw: “a huge horse, baby chickens, a sheep and a frog”.

Maria Gabriela, the coordinator of the Inclusive Ideas Foundation, one of our partners on this project together with the Liceo Boston school and the Bakongo organization, explains: “the camp aims to join vulnerable communities with people from different contexts to generate an environment of equity where the participants can learn to become agents of change for peace and development of the country”.

At the camp the children learn and work with values such as honesty, respect, team work, peaceful resolution of conflict, empathy and solidarity, among others.

For Pilar, CRAN’s teacher, these experiences are very important for the children because they allow them to share with other children in a setting different from CRAN, and to socialize and have fun as they acquire tools and skills for the rest of their lifes. “The children learn how to use responsibly the resources available to them and to take care of themselves, the others and of mother nature, and they experience a real and concrete sense of inclusion”.

Thanks to your support the children that we care for and protect temporarily in CRAN are allowed to develop their potential while they wait to recover their right to have a family that loves and protects them for ever.

We invite you to continue contributing with our Project and to share it with your friends and family. Thank you very much! :-)

Gracias a tu apoyo, nuestros niños aprenden jugando y divirtiéndose. El mes pasado, durante dos días y una noche, 14 niños de CRAN pudieron vivir la experiencia de un maravilloso campamento.

“Comimos malvaviscos, hicimos pruebas, había un mapa y mi grupo encontró los tesoros, hicimos cartas y unas eran secretas, hicimos flores de papel, nos divertimos muchísimo, quiero volver a un campamento pero de 10 días”, nos cuenta Luz, de 10 años.

A Danna, de 9 años, lo que más le gustó fue dormir en carpas y los animales que vieron: “un caballo grandote, pollitos, una oveja y una rana”.

María Gabriela, coordinadora de proyectos sociales de la Fundación Inclusive Ideas, aliados en la gestión del campamento junto con el Liceo Boston y la organización Bakongo, nos explica que el campamento “busca unir comunidades vulnerables con personas de diferentes contextos para generar un ambiente de equidad en donde los participantes se formen como agentes de cambio para la paz y el desarrollo del país”.

En el campamento, los niños aprenden y trabajan valores como la honestidad, el respeto, el trabajo en equipo, la resolución pacífica de los conflictos, la empatía y solidaridad, entre otros.

Para Pilar, pedagoga de CRAN, estas experiencias son muy importantes para los niños porque les permite compartir con otros niños en espacios por fuera de CRAN, divertirse, socializar, adquirir herramientas y habilidades para la vida.  “Los niños aprenden a usar con responsabilidad los recursos de los que disponen y a cuidar de ellos mismos, de los demás y de la naturaleza, al tiempo que se genera una inclusión social real y concreta”.

Gracias a tu apoyo, los niños que cuidamos y protegemos temporalmente en CRAN pueden desarrollar todo su potencial mientras recuperan su derecho a tener una familia que los ame y los cuide para siempre.

Te invitamos a seguir contribuyendo con nuestro proyecto y a difundirlo con tus amigos y familiares. Muchas gracias :-)
