Hello dear friends!

Today I´m going to talk you about an activity for a course of the university that consist in work for a presentation with some children in: “The league carnival”.

Some partners and me have been working at the course of this semester in one ONG called La Caleta, this organization works with the people of the population La Legua in different areas, but all with the objective of strengthening the community so they can self-manage solutions to their problems using their own resources and the environment gives. We joined a group of La Caleta called Mambo del Caserío composed by children of the sector, who work in reflection their rights as children.  They were to show what they have done during the year in an event that takes place every year in this population: “the league carnival”.

The children decided to showcase their work through the preparation -with disposable material -of masks and one cart allegorical (an ambulance) alluding to their rights to health and the ecology.

The past Saturday, the children finally could see materialized all that which had been proposed as well is that they were very happy. They had a nice time dancing with the drums, screaming, running, jumping, etc. Also had many organizations that participated in the carnival, so they could interact with many people and really enjoy that activity.

Personally I enjoyed too much the carnival because I never in my life have been in an event of this characteristics with very much artistic and comunitary expresions, was amazing! I feel  privileged.

I hope to someday you can participate of this event!

Bye!
