Around 200 people got together this Saturday, December 6th, for our Shape Colombia Farwell Breakfast.
International Cooperators, Support Teachers, representants from Secretaría de
Educación and AIESEC Coordinators went to Corferias, in Bogotá, to share their
experience and say goodbye to some of our Interns that are going back to their
countries.
During the
event, the Shape Colombia Director, Felipe Mora, emphasized the importance of
the work that the foreigners did in 100 public schools of the city in the past
months. “Thank you for giving your time and energy to make a difference in the
education system in Colombia. You are the ones responsible for impacting
directly the lives of those children”, said Felipe.
A medal and
a special certificate were given to some trainees that had an outstanding job and
the other cooperators were recognized with a diploma for collaborating with
Shape Colombia. One of the 30.000 students benefited by the initiative,
Santiago Garcia Zea, 15 years old, who studies at IED Villemar El Carmén, was
honored with a certificate for his engagement in the project.
“Those
lessons changed my life forever and my point of view about several things.
Thank you all for sharing your experiences, your culture and your knowledge
with us”, said the teenager after receiving the recognition. Click here to read
