Contacting, accompanying, monitoring learning and continuing with their educational routines conducted with the students of the School became the first priority. Students with cerebral palsy have won to be present in life, despite the disability they live. And the School of Con Nosotros has been the link of these girls and boys to stay active and in communication. The project inspired us to make all kinds of efforts so that everyone had an instrument of connectivity and access to data to prepare for their zoom sessions. We run donation campaigns and raffles to get resources and help with the purchase of internet data for some families. Other families obtained the support of neighbors, relatives and friends to connect, obtaining tablets, laptops or cell phones in loans. Following the rules of care, two teachers visited families who had problems opening the sessions, placing the device, operating the microphone and the zoom room camera, among other situations that were very new for many of the adults in the school. Finally, the training of families and connectivity was achieved for 95% of the students. We still have two families who, due to work schedule issues, have found it difficult to support their children's connection and we are looking for a way. The School carried out a very important act by assigning the loan to each family a set of furniture and special instruments to carry out the routines of Conducted Education, which leads to the following achievement: the families have been intensely involved in learning facilitation of led education, a very specific model of work. A financial effort was also made by the Association Council, because the free zoom sessions only last an hour and families had to re-enter, causing chaos. The Council of the association decided that with the resources obtained in this project a zoom domain would be acquired for Con Nosotros and all the inherent activities. Sessions are now two to three hours a day. All students meet in the zoom portal, recognizing themselves as members of the school and the teacher who administers divides the groups by school grades. Each teacher works and then joint activities are carried out. A new way of living together has started. I want to emphasize that we are a civil association that maintains contact with the government authorities for special education in the State of Morelos. And in the last meeting we realized that we are the only school that has daily sessions with its students, speaking of students who follow special education programs. 2020 has been declared a year of great challenges. In Con Nosotros, A.C., many efforts have been harvested so that the word learning acquires new and very satisfactory dimensions. Thank you for looking different, for thinking Con Nosotros!
