Near 125 under-resourced indigenous children from Mitu -the most isolated capital city in Colombia- have enriched their learning processes because now they have access to learning resources and materials that help them to develop higher thinking skills and foster the active and cooperative learning processes promoted by the Escuela Nueva (EN) model.
With the funds received for this project, along with other resources from the Ministry of National Education, we were able to deliver two sets of didactic materials (like a globe of the world, a chess game, a set of logical blocks, a stopwatch, and colorful building blocks for kids, among other resources) to targeted rural schools of Mitu.
The training process on strategies of the EN model, aimed at nearly 30 rural teachers of the region, is over. They are now applying the acquired knowledge to transform the conventional way of learning, and putting into practice valid principles of modern educational theory through concrete, simple strategies that promote active, participatory, cooperative, and personalized learning centered on the learner.
We believe in continuing these joint efforts to provide solutions and proven resources that can have a positive impact on rural children’s education. We deeply appreciate your support and invite you to keep donating and joining forces for good!

Mitu is a remote small city in Southeastern Colombia, in the Amazon Basin. Due to the fact, there are no roads connecting the town to the rest of the country, Mitu is considered the most isolated capital in Colombia.
Last year we carried out in Mitu a special training process on strategies of the Escuela Nueva Activa (ENA) model, aimed at nearly 30 rural teachers. ENA is a pedagogical model that transforms the conventional school and way of learning and puts into practice valid principles of modern educational theory through concrete, simple strategies that promote active, participatory, cooperative, and personalized learning centered on the learner.
With the funds received for this project in December 2022 and January 2023, we are able to provide additional learning resources to three rural schools in Mitu, benefiting 57 under-resourced indigenous children.
This May 2023, we are delivering some didactic resources (a globe of the world, a chess game, two sets of logical blocks -each containing 48 pieces-, a stopwatch, and a set of colorful building blocks for kids), that will encourage the development of students' creativity and higher thinking skills and foster the active and cooperative learning processes promoted by the ENA model.

Mitu is a small city in Southeastern Colombia, in the Amazon Basin, that lies next to the Vaupes River. Because there are no roads connecting the town to the rest of the country, Mitu is considered the most isolated capital in Colombia. Last semester we carried out in Mitu a special training process on strategies of the Escuela Nueva Activa (ENA) model, aimed at nearly 30 rural teachers of the region. ENA is a pedagogical model that transforms the conventional school and way of learning and puts into practice valid principles of modern educational theory through concrete, simple strategies that promote active, participatory, cooperative, and personalized learning centered on the learner.
With the funds received for this project, along with other resources from the Ministry of National Education of Colombia, we were able to provide additional learning resources and materials to five rural schools in Mitu, benefiting approximately 125 under-resourced children (mostly indigenous).
Last December, we delivered to six teachers a set of didactic resources, each one made up of 20 elements, that this year will encourage the development of students' creativity and higher thinking skills and foster the active and cooperative learning processes promoted by the ENA model.
