The power of love

By Nuestra Escuela, | Inc.

At Nuestra Escuela education signifies discovery of oneself, of the fellow other and a glance of reality with an eye on the common welfare. The support of each member of the Global GIving community has helped girls, boys and young people to connect with a capacity for wonder through the beauty that permeates the spaces of the school. We know that beauty is always a mystery for the human being, but also one of his great desires.

Walking through Nuestra Escuela in Caguas connects our students with the magic of this mystery. In their formative process they have an environment that promotes the awakening of sensibility and develops the capacity for resilience with a critical look.

This project began to rebuild the school after the Hurricanes, today the process is in its final stage and all our effort is focused on investing every dollar that is invested in the space for the common well-being of all who are part of this community. There are many elements that allow this to be possible in the daily life of our students:

Each semester the aesthetics of the classrooms change depending on the interests of the students. The space matures with us. In addition, it is the students who are in charge of organizing assemblies and debates in order to improve their organization and design, and how to face the new semester.

  • Every corner of our school has a pleasant aesthetic design. It is not about the superficial beauty of things, but about how they are placed, how they are arranged, how they are organized, whether there is a harmony in each colors and in the pleasant location, not only to the eye, but also to the relationship of the person with the objects and the environment.
  •      The layout of the spaces is constructed from the point of view of a child or teenager as applicable.
  •    From the entrance to the school you can perceive the care in the details, as is the sign at the entrance that says "Nuestra Escuela. Una Escuela Amorosa" which translates to Nuestra Escuela a Loving School.
  •     Nature enters the classroom. Small and large plants, pots with soil, sand, stones. Everything is in creating a relationship of respect with nature and that is only achieved by interacting with it, not by moving it away from our schools.

Achieving this is a daily challenge that moves us to continue looking for more and better resources so that girls, boys, youth and adults from the most disadvantaged sectors of the country have access to quality education with a Service Model that tends to full development.
