So far, 150 children from the communities of Cordobita and Jolonura have benefited from this first project, which will last for six months.<\/p>\n\n
The program has also included and benefited 40 parents from the same communities in Ci\u00e9naga through the School for Parents that is connected to the Soccer for Peace program, through which a training, education and empowerment program was launched.<\/p>\n\n
The workshops address the need to integrate the families into the social reconstruction process because while the children attend the sports training sessions on the field on Tuesdays and Thursdays, the parents work with the Foundation\u2019s psycho-social team.<\/p>\n\n

So I take great satisfaction [to see] that things are being done well, because what we want to do, through soccer, is to create better human beings and I think we are succeeding.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n With partnerships like these, Drummond Ltd. and the Casa en el \u00c1rbol Foundation will continue to replicate projects in which the communities make a commitment to participate and chose a lifestyle that encourages healthy living.<\/p>\n\n October 26, 2015 Taliana Vargas, the highest representative of the Casa en el \u00c1rbol foundation and former beauty queen was welcomed with messages, dances and musical performances by the young people from the Cordobita district of Ci\u00e9naga \u2013 Magdalena.
