Interactive classes in public library

In our efforts to offer meaningful activities to the children, we created an alliance with one of the main public libraries in the city of Medellín. Through it, children learn science in many fun ways. Children get access to computers, watch documentaries, play games that stimulate their creativity and intelligence. Through activities like this, we make sure that Poder Joven is more attractive to the children than the “the street activities” which they are exposed to such as begging, crime, sexual exploitation, and drug consumption.

Enjoying the city parks

Aware of children’s need to play, we frequently take them to different outdoor parks where they can have fun and strengthen their mental and motor skills. Specifically, in the month of February we took them on an ecological walk on one of the city’s hills. Of course, everyone was happy, and in the end, Salomé, one of the girls in the program said: “I feel very happy at the foundation because the teachers understand us, teach us and bring us to these fun parks. These are moments that I will never forget”.

Yoga classes that relax and tranquilize

For 8 years we have been implementing yoga classes to strengthen the physical development and mental peace of the children we serve. This has been a wonderful initiative as everyone participates with enthusiasm and has achieved a meaningful level of control of their own bodies and emotions. Some have also said that they like to do yoga at home with some regularity and that when they grow up, they would like to continue their practice to feel calm and relaxed.

At Poder Joven, we seek the holistic well-being of our children; for this reason, we offer them activities designed to develop their cognitive and social skills. However, the nutritional support we provide daily is no less important. At our facilities, we serve a total of 230 meals per day (5,060 full meals each month). This nutritional support enables our kids to enjoy the activities we offer and helps them concentrate more easily during the academic reinforcement sessions.
