                                              BOGOTÁ: OPPORTUNITIES FOR 120 CHILDREN & YOUNGTERS

By Moisés Pedraza – Fundación ZUÁ director 

Thanks to our donors, today we are proud to be part of Global Giving, thanks for your generosity and confidence to support children and young people to dream and realize their dreams. One of our donors puts it this way: “It is rewarding to support the beneficiaries of Zuá with better nutrition opportunities, learning workshops, art workshops and higher education”.

We have managed to improve the Nutrition of girls, boys, young people and tutors  6 days a week for a total of 1,440 breakfasts, 2,880 lunches and 1,440 snacks every month, always in the aim of helping them to nurture their minds, their hearts, and their hopes.

In the Learning Workshops we have strengthened the permanence and academic success of girls, boys and young people in public schools, achieving greater learning and commitment to their future. The support of the tutors and the use of academic platforms in the Foundation, are focused on answering the needs and learning difficulties of each one and improve their skills mainly in mathematics with iXL and Khan Academy, in English and programming with CODE, among others. 

Heidi is twelve years old and arrives at the Foundation at 7:30 in the morning, she has breakfast, and, with the support of the tutors she performs different activities such as school assignments and learning reinforcements in reading and writing. At 11:00 am she has lunch and goes to the public school, where she does year 5. On Saturdays she participates in art workshops, especially music and theater.  As Heidi, the Foundation benefits another 99 girls, boys and young people and 20 tutors. She puts it this way: “Hello, my name is Heidi and I am part of the Zuá Foundation. I have learned a lot with the platforms and everyone helps me a lot, I live very happy, they give me breakfast and lunch, they teach me a lot and I thank the Zuá Foundation”

In the Artistic Workshops, we develop the skills and abilities of the children, through the daily realization of music workshops and individual practices. On Saturdays a group of girls, boys and young people do circus, music, theater and plastic. Others make up the sport teams and the Seed group.

In Higher Education, Paula, Doris, Tatiana, Valeria and Alex began the first term in August, for a total of 15 young people studying different careers at the university, funded by the Foundation, coming their dreams of being professionals true. They dedicate part time to support as tutors of girls and boys in the Foundation.

Gracias a nuestros donantes hoy nos sentimos orgullosos de hacer parte de Global Giving, gracias por su generosidad y confianza para apoyar a las niñas, niños y jóvenes a soñar y hacer realidad sus sueños. Uno de nuestros donantes lo expresa asi  “Si se puede apoyar a los beneficiarios de Zuá con mejores oportunidades de nutrición, talleres aprendamos, talleres artísticos y educación superior.”  

Hemos logrado mejorar la Nutrición de las niñas, niños, jóvenes y tutores 6 días a la semana para un total cada mes de 1.440 desayunos, 2.880 almuerzos y 1.440 refrigerios en la tarde, siempre con el fin de ayudarles a nutrir también sus mentes, sus corazones y sus esperanzas.

En los Talleres Aprendamos hemos fortalecido la permanencia y el éxito académico de niñas, niños y jóvenes en los colegios públicos, logrando mayor aprendizaje y compromiso con su futuro. El apoyo de los tutores y el uso de las plataformas académicas en la Fundación, están orientadas a responder a las necesidades y dificultades de aprendizaje de cada uno y fortalecerlos especialmente en matemáticas con iXL y Khan Academy, en inglés y programación con CODE, entre otros.

Heidi tiene doce años llega a la Fundación a las 7:30 de la mañana, desayuna y con el apoyo de los tutores realiza diferentes actividades tales como: tareas escolares, refuerzos de aprendizaje, y fortalecimiento en lectura y escritura. A las 11:00 am almuerza y se va para el colegio oficial, donde estudia quinto grado. Los sábados participa en los talleres de arte, especialmente música y teatro.

Como Heidi, la Fundación beneficia a otros 99 niñas, niños y jóvenes y 20 tutores. Ella lo expresa así: “Hola yo me llamo Heidi y hago parte de la Fundación Zuá, he aprendido mucho con las plataformas y todos me ayudan mucho, vivo muy feliz, me dan desayuno y almuerzo, me enseñan mucho y agradezco a la Fundación Zuá”

En los Talleres Artísticos, desarrollamos las destrezas y habilidades de los niños a través de la realización diaria de talleres de música y prácticas individuales. Los sábados un grupo de niñas, niños y jóvenes hacen circo, música, teatro y plástica. Otros conforman el equipo de deporte y el grupo Semilla.

En Educación Superior, Paula, Doris, Tatiana, Valeria y Alex, ingresaron en agosto al primer semestre, para un total de 15 jóvenes estudiando diferentes carreras, en la universidad, financiados por la Fundación, haciendo realidad sus sueños de ser profesionales y en contraprestación son los tutores de las niñas, niños y jóvenes en la Fundación.
