In “teamwork with the community, with my students and with parents is one of the greatest prizes that Escuela Nueva has given to me” has being said by teacher Raúl Amézquita from the Rural School Brasilia, in the municipality of San Juan de Arama in Meta (department) , and in that way pledged his commitment with his neighbors.
The Fundación Escuela Nueva Volvamos a la Gente is working in the Parent meetings that are currently being done in nearly 500 schools in meta, registered the community component of the Escuela Nueva Model, that has helped Boys and girls, teachers, parents and community in general, to achieve a unity that will allow the rebirth of the community as a whole.
In this meeting with the community in the Brasilia district, we could see the importance of the parents involvement, whose during a community lunch, found the best pretext to meet and turn a hot and humid day into a day of solidarity, leadership and compromise with the school that educates their sons and daughters.
Even the School Principal Mr Javier Pinilla, was emphatic to say that “ the school isn`t just four ways and books, a school is made by children and the community; where the school is the center that summons the community to propose projects and alternatives that will point the way in paths of welfare and improvement”.
