Within the framework of the Ceibo Project - Solidarity School, which promotes the practice of solidarity as an educational experience in all our students, 5th-year students from the Business Administration track (Almagro campus) are working on the creation of a ‘toy library’. This is carried out along with the students' coordinator, Lic. Liliana Kuperman, and 7th-grade students from Francisco de Vitoria School.This primary public school is near our campus. After the first meetings and visits on the part of our students, we agreed (together with the School’s principals and teachers) that ORT students could not only pass on knowledge and acquired experiences, but also help in the continuous improvement of Francisco de Vitoria School. For that reason, ORT students have been working with 7th-graders from such institution in order to equip a playing room according to the needs and characteristics of the little ones.
Last Friday they visited our school and 5th-year students were the ones in charge of the ‘tour’ around ORT.
F. Onetto says: “The human being is not only satisfied with receiving; he has the need to give. The need to give is the need to experiment that one can do people good, can take care of others, heal, protect and nourish them. Doing people good is also gratifying because the other gets some benefit. By providing opportunities to take care, feed, teach, help and assist others, we are creating well-being conditions”. Therefore, we will continue building spaces where our students can develop active and committed bonds with the surrounding community. Soon you will get more news on this project, so that we can continue sharing such a fruitful experience.
