Asociación Civil
We wanted to let you know that at the end of last year, Ornella said goodbye to the Augustinian Social Service because our programs for the children in the Balvanera neighborhood are up to age 13.
This 2024, Orne wanted to join as a volunteer for School Support, Playroom, and Library activities, so we are happy to be able to share afternoons with her again, but this time from a different perspective: being part of the team of “teachers” who accompany the youngest in their growth!
¡Welcome Orne!
A few weeks ago, we resumed activities with our kids, and here’s what we did!
In the library workshop, our little ones decorated the library cards to keep track of all the books they borrow throughout the year.
As their first activity, the children listened to the story of a girl who, after receiving a box of colors as a gift, realizes the number of worlds she can create through painting and drawing (“Julieta y su caja de colores (Julieta and her box of colours” by Pellicer López). Based on this story, we provided all kinds of materials for the children to create their own “book loan cards.”
With these ID cards, the children can borrow a book to take home. This helps them take care of the materials, be responsible for returning the book they borrow, and above all, share a moment of reading and new stories with their families.
We want to tell you that a new group of 5th-year students from the San Martin de Tours Institute has joined as teachers in the School Support classes of the Agustinian Social Service to help our little ones with their homework.
Thanks to this wonderful commitment by the San Martin de Tours Institute and the students, the kids from ASS feel more supported. Additionally, the ISMT students not only get to know a reality different from their own but also help change it.
On Saturday, December 16, we were able to enjoy an incredible afternoon with 43 of our little ones, thanks to the invitation from the Alumni of SAC (Saint Augustine College). Thanks to them, the kids traveled in a beautiful bus, played outdoors, had delicious hamburgers for lunch, painted a banner, got to play soccer on a grass field for the first time, played with water, and received lovely medals. We also met Sabi, a SAC student who is part of our tutoring volunteer team. She was participating in a soccer tournament and joined our little game.
During November and December, the kids from Acuarela enjoyed afternoons filled with games, art, physical activities, and values, thanks to a wonderful group of volunteers. They were able to make their own crafts, celebrate Tradition Day with dancing, and enjoy delicious snacks donated by local merchants.
We are proud to support such a valuable and necessary project for the community of Santa María.
We want to show you a bit of the fun we had on Friday with our kids at the Kermesse organized by the San Martín de Tours Institute to support our Civil Association!
It was a spectacular day full of games—everyone had fun, shared, enjoyed bingo, and there were families and many smiles!
Thanks to the entire San Martin de Tours Institute, the mothers of social action, and everyone who contributed to this wonderful initiative for joining us and putting in so much commitment and dedication to support our cause!
We also thank the many volunteers who lent a hand and shared time and smiles with our little ones!
Swipe to see how much fun we had!!
