The school attends 24 students from preschool to fifth grade, under the Escuela Nueva Activa model, which promotes active, participatory and personalized learning; it facilitates the management of different learning rhythms in the classroom and promotes a change in the role of the teacher, who is traditionally a transmitter of information to a role of mentor and facilitator, as well as a greater integration of the school with the family and the community.<\/p>\n\n\n

Additionally, we support the creation of self-sustainable vegetable gardens so that children learn the value of the land and the opportunities it offers. As well as entrepreneurial projects.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Other projects include the provision of a robot so that the school has an approach to the technology of these generations and knows the possibilities it offers, such as the expansion of knowledge, in addition to the creation of educational parks for the free development of personality and intrapersonal interaction.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Each of these activities is explained in more detail below.<\/h2>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Garden or orchard<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We decided to build the farm to raise awareness for animals and allow the children to feed themselves better by supplementing the school menu with eggs from happy hens, which they take care of. They named them Pluki, Josefina, and Piolina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The national rate of child malnutrition is 13.2%, but in some regions, such as Vaup\u00e9s, it reaches 34.7%.<\/mark><\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

To make sure it was beautiful and productive, we started by preparing the area, then the kids planted the seeds and we assigned chores to water them regularly. After a few weeks, the garden began to take shape. Now the plants are growing and it is a beautiful addition to the foundation. Soon the children will be able to supplement their school menu with their own vegetables.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

The garden is mainly tended by the children but we also have a gardener from the foundation who helps them once a week. The project was developed with the future of a world focused on sustainability and providing an extra source of income for the escuelita. We are very proud of the result and grateful to have been able to help with this cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The kids named the garden \u201cHuerta Infantil La Veta\u201d.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

We decided to build the farm both to raise awareness for animals and to allow the children to feed themselves better by supplementing the school menu with eggs from happy hens, which they themselves take care of. They named them Pluki, Josefina and Piolina.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n
