Caring for the Body, Nurturing the Spirit

By Ana Uribe | Project Leader

Life knowledge also shows up in how we inhabit our bodies and cultivate inner gratitude. In the four rural schools that completed the full program, the findings reveal both progress and challenges that call for continued support.

Physical Dimension: Energy and Habits

On average, students sleep 7 hours per night.
Yet, 32% do not feel regular energy or maintain a balanced diet.
This highlights the need to strengthen self-care habits and body awareness, especially in rural contexts where daily routines are shaped by family and work demands.

Spiritual Dimension: Gratitude and Peace

A deeply positive finding: 96% of students feel grateful.
However, 40% struggle to reach tranquility easily, showing the importance of reflection spaces and practices that foster inner peace.

Interpretation: Gratitude is present as a seed, but it needs nurturing to grow into everyday serenity.

Why This Matters

Because a young person who cares for their body and recognizes their spirit has more tools to face life with balance. Thanks to your support on GlobalGiving, we continue planting healthy habits that sustain their own life project for rural youth.
