...CT en numbers...


This week, we are again changing a little the format to unravel the project this time in numbers & capture it from a different angle …Let´s see how the last 2 weeks break down:

0 CT footballs were chewed up by the local dog on the Plaza: an achievement!

1 old lady was unfortunately pushed over by one of us as we were playing in the Plaza and fell: nobody hurt though and all appropriate apologies were made & accepted..;0

2 girls from Fe y Alegría´s Choir accompanied Bernarda to sing with our kids in our Right to be Creative session last Wednesday

6 different instruments were created out of plastic bottles filled with sand/water/metal parts, wooden sticks & empty pots and used by the kids to accompany Bernarda in the CT Choir

8 is the weekly average of Cuéntamelo Todo´s team on site to play and accompany the kids in their reading & drawing activities, footie/volley & rope games along with all the thematic work and Mobile School activities we carry out

10 books were taken out by our kids over the last 2 Biblioteca Ambulante sessions and another 8 were returned to CT´s Biblioteca

12 kids were referred to our local partner, UMSC, for their first dental checks and were given their Cuéntamelo Todo keychain

15 kids got to visit the Tiánguez Café this week as part of our session on Rights in Practice: Accessing Culture…Another 15 got to play games across the Plaza to find out a little more about the key monuments and stories that make it up asking the locals

20 games in total were played throughout our last 6 sessions, with the majority being during the Monday Recreational Education sessions with Santi´s team

52 kids have joined the past 2 Monday sessions…bearing in mind last Monday we literally got to time to set up tent, prepare the Mobile School and the ¨aguacero¨ fell on us – we quickly encouraged the group of keen players to make their way home before we all caught a cold!

70 children joined us to take part in our Wednesday Rights & Reading sessions for a little Right to be Creative and Right to Access Culture

85 kids joined our Biblioteca Ambulante Thursday sessions for some more reading, Mobile School activities and play…the numbers have increased since we have the Mobile School, this is primarily because it is attracting people but also because we are out longer hours!

177 boards were used on the Mobile School combining alphabetization, mathematics, observation, motricity activities as well as the very popular magnetic games !

Next week, we will have a few CEFISTAS less as the more ¨mature¨ ones are passing their A level exams…we wish them luck! In the meantime, we will be welcoming again Miguel, our local artist who, through his finger-tip painting technique, has conquered quite a number of our kids. This week, working on the Right to Imagining, we will be doing a little 3-D painting on boxes we have collected from local shops. Next week, Gabriela & Lorena from the Defensoría del Pueblo will be back to tell us more about how ¨ la Solidaridad¨ can help us better fulfil our rights…
