NEW TRAINING PROJECTS IN COLOMBIA

From Nicoletta Lailah Armstrong, one of the founders of ICDP and Senior Trainer: there are 2 new projects : one is in cooperation with the Medellin Municipality, and the other one is with the research organisation CINDE. I am starting to give ICDP training seminars to two different groups of professionals, who will first apply ICDP in practice with families at risk and then later they will start training their colleagues and ultimately will be reaching 3500 families. Professionals from CINDE, currently involved in social projects called "Colombianos apoyando Colombianos" will take ICDP to Medellin, Manizales and Bogota; whereas the other team will insert ICDP in the integrated program  for social assistance called "Buen Comienzo" which is already in process of being delivered in the town of Medellin, in its most marginalized areas.  Funding is by these organisations in cooperation with UNICEF.

 

NEW PROJECT STARTING IN PARAGUAY

From the ICDP team, led by Benita Elisabeth Gavilan: "At the beginning of the month we held our first training course in a small town 100 km from Asuncion, as part of our new project, financed by Fondo Canada. The ICDP sensitizing course is delivered to students who will be future kindergarten teachers."
