Second Semester of 2017

This August, four new volunteers started to work with the Escuela Movil. Mona, Nelson, Franka and Marina are now conquering the barrios of Sucre.

SEPTEMBER In their first week, the volunteers prepared their first taller (workshop), Taller de la Autodisciplina y Responsabilidad, (Workshop of autodiscipline and responsibility) that teaches the kids about self-discipline and responsibility. The kids heard a story about penguins and how the parents treat and care for their egg. In order to practice what the kids just learned, they each got an egg of their own. The eggs beforehand had been modified to look like egg-men. The following week, they were asked to show their egg and explain what they did with it and what this has to do with responsibility and self-discipline.

OCTOBER In order to teach the children more about their own culture, a free entrance to the Glorieta Museum was organized. Every day for a week, the Escuela visited the Museum of the Glorieta. Glorieta is the only castle in Bolivia and looks more like a big mansion. The family that lived there was not born into royalty. The prince and the princess were a rich couple who gained their fortune through the mines and by opening the first bank. Their status as royals was give to  them because of their significant charity work in Sucre, for example adopting 100 street children and providing them with food, clothes and an education.

NOVEMBER This was the last month of work for the year 2018, and also the last Taller - Taller del valor de la Solidaridad (Workshop of the value of solidarity). In this Taller, the children learned something about the importance of helping each other. To practice this value, the situation in a Micro bus was recreated in which the children had to prove they understood what it meant to demonstrate solidarity.

DECEMBER The first week of the month of Christmas was spent saying goodbye, la despedida. Because of Summer vacation, the Escuela Movil breaks up for two months. Many kids travel to their relatives further from the city to help with farm work, so the Escuela organized a big Goodbye Fiesta with all the barrios, where the children received some goodbye snacks. See you in February!

In addition to the big projects completed this year, there were also many games played, visits to the park made, movies watched and stories exchanged.
The movies that we watched were to demonstrate and reinforce the values that had been taught.

Taller de Higiene Personal y Nutrición / Personal Hygiene and Nutrition Workshop

¿Sabemos qué alimentos comemos o cómo debe ser nuestro aseo personal?

En este taller dimos pautas sobre la importancia de la Higiene Personal para la salud y  prevención de enfermedades a través de dinámicas:


La Higiene de Manos y Pies - Luchando contra las bacterias para estar sanos"

A través de la explicación de que las manos son fuentes transmisoras de bacterias, brindamos pautas sobre los momentos importantes  para su higiene y la posterior explicación de cómo lavarse las manos y también los pies para mantenerlos limpios.
Representándolo mediante las manos con purpurina (bacterias) y, a continuación lavarse las manos con jaboncillo hasta que desaparezca la purpurina (bacterias).

Y la importancia de la alimentación a través de la actividad "Nutrición Sana y Saludable", describimos los alimentos, sus aportes y la frecuencia en la que deben ser consumidos para, posteriormente elaborar entre todas y todos un "Plato Saludable".

Do we know what kind of food we eat or which is our daily cleanliness should be?

In this workshop we gave the guidelines on the importance of personal hygiene for health  and disease prevention through dynamics:

Hygiene of hands and feet - "Fighting bacteria to stay healthy"
Through the explanation that hands are bacteria transmitters: we provided guidelines on the important moments for their hygiene and the subsequent explanation of how to wash their hands and also the feet to keep them clean. Representing it by the hands with glitter (as bacteria) and then washing hands with soap until glitter disapears.

 And the importance of food through the activity "Healthy Nutrition", we described the food, their contributions and frequency in which they should be consumed to later develop among all of them a "Heslthy dish".

Taller de Medioambiente y Gestión de Residuos / Workshop on Environment and Waste Management

¿Somos responsables de nuestro Medio Ambiente y el medio en que vivimos?

Desde la Escuela Móvil somos conscientes del gran problema de la contaminación y los cambios climáticos que estamos viviendo por ello hemos querido promover mediante este taller educativo la prevención, el conocimiento y la reflexión concreta de nuestro medio ambiente y contexto, para despertar en los/as más pequeños/as la conciencia, de contribuir al cuidado de nuestra casa grande como es el medio ambiente.

   Fomentando hábitos positivos sobre el reciclaje y la gestión de los residuos mediante actividades como "Reci- fútbol", combinando el fútbol con la pauta del reciclaje colocando las porterías del color de los contenedores de reciclaje: verde, amarillo, negro y azul e imaginando que la pelota es un residuo concreto.


 

y promover en los/as pequeñoas/as el cuidado y la replantación de árboles como un recurso importante que contribuye al medio ambiente y a la protección del ser humano de los fenómenos naturales (rompe viento, degradación de suelos, purificación del aire, etc. etc.), a través de la actividad: "Un árbol = Una vida"...

.

En los diferentes barrios se identificó un lugar para que todas y todos los/as niños/as, juntos pudieran plantar su árbol, se repartieron los plantines a cada uno/a de los/as niños/as y se realizó una orientación de cómo sembrar un plantín para que ellos/as mismas/os pudieran vivenciarlo.

Are we responsible of our environment in which we live?

From Escuela Móvil we are aware of the great problem of pollution and the climatic changes  we are living. Therefore, we wanted to promote through this educational workshop: prevention, knowledge ans reflection of our environment and context to awaken smallest people conscience, to contribute caring of our big house as is "Environment".

Encouraging positive habits on recycling and waste management through activities such as "Reci-Football", combining football with the recycling pattern by placing the goals of the color of recycling containers: green, yellow, black and blue and imagining that the ball is a  residue.


And to promote the care and replanting of small trees as an important resource that contributes to the environment and human protection of natural phenomena (windbreaks, soil degradation, air purification, etc.)through the activity: "A tree = A life".

In the different neighborhoods, a place was identified so that all the children together could plant their tree, the seedlings were distributed to each one of the children and an orientation was given on how to plant and seedling so that they themselves could experience it.
