Project Report | Dec 5, 2016
Thanks to you we made it! / Gracias a ti, alcanzamos metas

By Juan | Communications leader

[Abajo puedes leer el reporte en español]


Our children just finished their school year and they are getting ready for the end-of-the-year school break. CRAN's education area and our caregivers have designed little projects for the kids to enjoy during this season.

Pilar, our educationist, explains that it is important for children to finish what they start so that the meaning of the activities can be addressed. That is why each of the projects has a short and appropriate duration so that children can live the process and feel the satisfaction of achieving the goal.

Some of the projects that children have started are mandalas, Christmas ornaments and cards.  

The activities have also a therapeutic effect.  Amalia, for example, is learning to knit.  "I like it a lot. I want to knit a green scarf", she tells us.

Pilar points out that knitting has great benefits for children's mental and physical health. It exercises their brains, reduces their stress, helps them to concentrate on achieving an objective, improves their motor skills and increases their self-esteem.

You make all this possible with your donations.  Thanks to you in CRAN we can offer our children a stimulating environment in which they can develop their potential until they recover their right to grow in a loving and caring family.  Thank you very much!

Nuestros niños terminaron su año escolar y se preparan para las vacaciones de fin de año. El área de pedagogía y las cuidadoras de CRAN han diseñado pequeños proyectos para que los niños disfruten de esta época.

Pilar, la pedagoga de CRAN, nos explica que es importante que los niños terminen lo que empiezan, para que se pueda cumplir con el sentido que guía las actividades. Por eso, cada uno de los proyectos tiene una duración corta y adecuada para que los niños vivan el proceso y sientan la satisfacción de alcanzar la meta.

Algunos de los proyectos que han empezado los niños son mandalas, adornos de Navidad y tarjetas.

Las actividades también tienen un propósito terapéutico. Amalia, por ejemplo, está aprendiendo a tejer. "Me gusta mucho, quiero hacer una bufanda verde", nos cuenta.

Pilar nos comenta que tejer tiene grandes beneficios para la salud mental y física. Ejercita el cerebro, reduce el estrés, ayuda a los niños a concentrarse para alcanzar un objetivo, mejora la motricidad y aumenta la autoestima.

¡Todo esto lo haces posible tú con tus aportes! Gracias a ti en CRAN podemos ofrecerles a los niños un entorno estimulante para que desarrollen su potencial mientras recuperan el derecho a crecer en familia amorosa y cuidadora. ¡Muchas gracias!
