We are very happy for the great support to our project, we have fulfilled the goal.
With the support and trust that people have placed in us, the goal of our project has been achieved. The commitments and actions during 2019 have served to achieve our objectives. We thank all the people who have trusted us. To this end, we would like to share with you the activities of our children and adolescents developed in recent months.
Swimming classes and soccer league
Carrying out physical activities that are at the same time fun for the children and teenagers who live at Casa JUCONI gives them various benefits that are positive for their health and education.
The children enthusiastically participate in the swimming classes. Having contact with the water and immersing themselves in it creates a relaxing effect for the body. As it is a sport, it promotes a positive attitude and a feeling of well-being in children and adolescents.
Sports provide them with an improved respiratory system and increased lung capacity, as well as cardiorespiratory, neuronal and cognitive benefits.
Each activity they do has an effect on their lives, creating experiences that help them build their identity, thus achieving the construction of clear goals for their lives.
Recognizing efforts!
d on in these The teenagers and boy scouts from JUCONI's home participated in the Octagón camp, where they carried out various activities. The values worked activities on in these were fellowship and respect. Likewise, they recognized the importance of planning for the fulfillment of objectives and conflict resolution. This has helped them to begin to make their own decisions in the face of daily situations that arise.
They also participated in the parade of the scout group in the historic center of the city of Puebla, where they showed the value and importance of discipline and the lessons learned in group.
In order to demonstrate that perseverance and active participation are fundamental to succeed in what is proposed, both the children, young people and educators of JUCONI were recognized in the scout group, showing that the most important thing is to be sure of what you want in life.
Getting to know my city
Recreational activities are important for the development of the children and adolescents of Casa JUCONI who had the opportunity to attend the cinema to watch a movie, which provided them with a pleasant time full of laughter and a lot of fun.
As well as a walk in the Zócalo of the City of Puebla which being a site surrounded by important buildings provides them with knowledge about the historical events that took place there.
They concluded with a delicious dinner at a restaurant in the city, which gave them the opportunity to meet their friends and learn about new dishes.
A history, an identity.
As part of the importance of rescuing cultural traditions, the children and youth participated in the preparation of a traditional Day of the Dead offering. This activity was carried out in conjunction with a university that provided the necessary materials for the activity. In addition, the children and youth exchanged stories about the Mexican tradition. It was a moment of knowledge with a lot of emotion, the children and youth of JUCONI had the opportunity to interact with other young people who explained the importance of maintaining the traditions as part of our culture.
The creation of an identity involves the recognition of a culture resulting in a sense of belonging to a society as well as the importance of its formation and emotional and social development.
Finally, we again thank all the people who have made this project a reality. We will continue to work so that more children and young people have the opportunity for new experiences that will motivate them to build their future.
Thank you very much!
We invite you to continue to be attentive because we will soon be publishing a new project and we trust that you will accompany us in its realization.
