The purpose of this project is to intervene in an educational center for children aged between 3 and 5 years in Anccoto, an area that belongs to one of the neighboring communities to Mil Centro, in Mullaka’s-Misminay.
With this project, we also seek to validate the actions to then replicate them in other educational centers in Maras, focusing on 2 lines of action: education and nutrition.
Education
Library
In the classroom, we implemented a reading space with books relevant to the age and cultural context of the children. Additionally, we carried out reading activities, guided by the teacher, to encourage enjoyment and understanding of reading.
Reading plan
We introduce initiatives such as the "Traveling Book," where each child takes a book home to read, and group reading activities that stimulate participation and the exchange of ideas. Additionally, we developed an incentive plan that includes strategies like the reading card, a record of books read that motivates children to celebrate their achievements.
Nutrition
Food
We equipped the kitchen and developed a nutritional plan based on the Andean diet that meets the needs of children, including regular nutritional assessments and the creation of healthy recipe books.
Biogarden
We implemented a biogarden that provides fresh vegetables to enrich the children's diet. To achieve this, we collaborated with the Institute of Nutritional Research (IIN) and the International Potato Center (CIP) to ensure the success of this vital component.
