The Weekly Adventure at Bolivia Digna Foundation (July 15 – 19, 2024)
Monday, July 15: The Magic of Salt Flour
This Monday, we discovered ancient cuneiform writing, not in clay, but in salt flour. The young artists traced the letters of their names, transporting themselves to an era where communication was a secret art. The day didn’t end there; a code game awaited the children, challenging their minds and teaching them new ways of communication. The room was filled with laughter and knowing glances as the children deciphered hidden messages.
Tuesday, July 16: The Cardboard Car Race
On Tuesday, the foundation’s projects transformed into an engineering workshop. With cardboard and recycled bottle caps, the children built their own cars. Although the resulting race wasn’t the fastest, each young engineer learned about the evolution of transportation. From the horse to today’s fast cars, the children traveled through time, understanding how we have reached our modern era.
Wednesday, July 17: Explosions and Soaps
Wednesday was a day of scientific discoveries. The children became little chemists, creating their own soap with natural essences. Additionally, they learned the importance of washing their hands. But the special moment of the day came with a scientific explosion: Coca-Cola and Mentos. Laughter and shouts of amazement filled the space as they observed the chemical reaction. It was a day when science turned into pure magic.
Thursday, July 18: The Hand-washing Machine
On Thursday, the adventure continued with the construction of a hand-washing machine. With ingenuity and creativity, the children and volunteers designed a machine that turned out to be a total success. Washing hands had never been so much fun.
Friday, July 19: The Great Sports Tournament
The week culminated in an energetic Friday. The “Market” and “Tacoloma” teams faced off in an exciting soccer match. The field vibrated with excitement and sportsmanship. Besides soccer, five additional sports activities were organized, where each child had the opportunity to shine and show their skills. It was a day of laughter, sweat, and above all, teamwork.
