Pechiches: Kids Books ABOUT Afrocolombian Children

The proyect managed by FEM with the educational institution is a long and continuous process, weekly, work is carried out by the teachers and the children of the school. We continue to emphasize the importance of promoting ethno-education to promote and protect the cultural diversity that makes up a common heritage. For this we have used poetry as a manifestation of beauty and esthetic feeling through the Afro word.

Poetry is a very important tool to bring children to the world of letters and is a very valuable way to acquire knowledge in a fun way, because for them it is like a game. In addition to working with them the pride of being afro with their lyrics, we also stimulate the imagination, acquire new vocabulary, exercise memory, improve oral expression, work sensitivity, activate creativity, transmit values and can be a tool to work on child's motor skills.

We are constantly applying new methodologies to improve their reading comprehension through dynamic activities that make them love reading. This is not an easy task, since there is very little African children's literature, hence the importance of being able to materialize these books and make them available to all Cartageneros and people who want to have more contextualized books, so that all children can see themselves reflected.

We are still looking for continued support, editors and printers to help print the books. we keep searching.

Thanks for your support and your help.
