THE BEST OF HIS CLASS
Andres is 8 years old. He is very active, likes to explore the world, asks questions about everything he sees, is very warm and loves to share with everybody. He, as well as some of our other children, arrived to the CRAN Foundation with a very complex emotional situation given the circumstances of infringement of his rights that he had experienced.
When he arrived to the CRAN Foundation, the social worker and the teacher assistant registered Andres in the neighbourhood school, bought his school supplies and uniform, and he started grade one. At the beginning it was very hard for him to study and to concentrate during class. His academic results were deficient and he was demotivated and bored.
Every day the teacher assistant and the support group started to work with him to help him develop his capabilities and competencies to reach their full potential by using arts and crafts and specific reading and writing exercises. Pilar, the teacher assistant believes that “help with homework, permanent follow-up with the school, and love and care are fundamental to strengthen children’s cognitive, social and language capabilities”
Currently, Andres has improved considerably and is one of the best of his class. Every afternoon the school bus picks him up and he leaves very happy to learn new things and to spend time with his friends.
Thanks to you and to all the people that have supported our project in Global Giving we have been able cover the cost of transportation, school supplies and extra help in art, corporal expression, sports and crafts to ensure that our children have the tools to achieve their dreams and aspirations in the future.
We invite you to continue contributing with our project and to share information about it with all your friends and family.
Thank you for building with us a better world for all!
EL MEJOR DE SU CLASE
Andrés tiene 8 años es muy inquieto, le gusta explorar el mundo, vive preguntando sobre todo lo que ve, es muy cariñoso y le encanta compartir con los demás. Él, al igual que alguno de nuestros niños y niñas, llegó a la Fundación CRAN con una situación emocional muy compleja dadas las circunstancias de vulneración de sus derechos por las que han pasado.
Cuando llegó a la Fundación CRAN la trabajadora social y la pedagoga buscaron para Andrés cupo en un colegio cercano, le compraron el uniforme y los útiles escolares y entró a primero elemental. Al principio le costaba mucho estudiar y concentrarse en clase. Su rendimiento académico era deficiente y estaba desmotivado y aburrido.
Diariamente la pedagoga y el grupo de apoyo empezaron a ayudarle a potencializar sus capacidades y competencias con clases de manualidades y ejercicios de lectoescritura específicos. Pilar la pedagoga asegura que “El apoyo en tareas, el seguimiento permanente con el colegio y el amor y el cuidado son fundamentales para fortalecer en los niños sus habilidades en aprendizajes cognitivos, sociales y del lenguaje.”
Actualmente, Andrés ha mejorado considerablemente y es uno de los primero de su clase. Todas las tardes lo recoge el bus del colegio y se va a estudiar muy feliz porque va a aprender cosas nuevas y a compartir con sus amigos.
Gracias a ti y a todas las personas que han apoyado nuestro proyecto en GlobalGiving, hemos podido cubrir el transporte, los útiles escolares, y el refuerzo en arte, en expresión corporal, deportes y manualidades para que nuestros niños y niñas tengan herramientas en el futuro para cumplir sus sueños y aspiraciones.
Te invitamos a seguir contribuyendo con nuestro proyecto y a difundirlo con tus amigos y familiares.
¡Gracias por construir con nosotros un mundo mejor para todos!
