Cuernavaca, Mor., a 28 de marzo de 2016<\/p>\n

A cuatro a\u00f1os de iniciado el proyecto para crear Planteles Educativos Sustentables, pudimos asistir a la cosecha de sonrisas al preescolar \u201cH\u00e9roes del 47\u201d de la comunidad rural Tepetzingo, municipio de Emiliano Zapata donde la estudiante de la licenciatura en Intervenci\u00f3n educativa de la Universidad Pedag\u00f3gica Nacional sede Cuernavaca, Morelos, Y\u00e9ssica Lizbeth Vergara, realiz\u00f3 su servicio social, que consisti\u00f3 en hacer sustentable la escuela con la participaci\u00f3n de la comunidad escolar y con el apoyo de Inspira, una asociaci\u00f3n civil que promueve la transformaci\u00f3n de escuelas y espacios p\u00fablicos para hacerlos generadores de paz y armon\u00eda a trav\u00e9s del trabajo voluntario de j\u00f3venes.<\/p>\n

Durante la sesi\u00f3n que se llev\u00f3 a cabo en el preescolar como parte de las actividades del Segundo Foro Itinerante Binacional: \u201cCiencia, arte y tradici\u00f3n hacia la sustentabilidad\u201d fue posible cosechar muchas sonrisas y acrecentar esperanzas al ver alcanzada una de las principales metas del proyecto que es, el promover la sustentabilidad en planteles formadores de docentes e interventores educativos por su potencial como multiplicadores en sus espacios de intervenci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

Esta sesi\u00f3n del foro nos permiti\u00f3 constatar que una interventora educativa es capaz de impactar a toda una comunidad escolar y su entorno.<\/p>\n

Este d\u00eda del foro vimos c\u00f3mo brotaron las sonrisas de los peque\u00f1os y llenaron de alegr\u00eda a quienes intervinieron trabajando unidos en la construcci\u00f3n de un sue\u00f1o y a quienes fuimos testigos de esta experiencia y nos llenamos de esperanza e inspiraci\u00f3n para hacerla viajar atravesando fronteras propag\u00e1ndola por doquier.<\/p>\n

Fue una gran satisfacci\u00f3n recibir juntos la cosecha, compartiendo la alegr\u00eda entre quienes participamos en la primera etapa del proyecto: Dawson College , Instituto Earth Values, Ciudades Verdes, S.C., personal docente y estudiantes de la UPN y de la UAEM, y quienes se empiezan a sumar a esta iniciativa: una delegaci\u00f3n ampliada del Dawson College, y tres estudiantes que dedicaron horas de sus pr\u00e1cticas profesionales construyendo sustentabilidad en el preescolar.<\/p>\n

En un ambiente de cordialidad en el que se pod\u00eda saborear el fruto del trabajo colectivo y solidario, en el que se sent\u00eda la firmeza del tejido comunitario construido sobre la base de un sue\u00f1o compartido, la quinta sesi\u00f3n del Foro nos llen\u00f3 de alegr\u00eda, nos colm\u00f3 de esperanzas y nos desafi\u00f3 a compartir lo cosechado y a propagar las semillas hacia otros espacios que requieren de intervenciones educativas como la realizada por nuestra querida sembradora de sonrisas, Y\u00e9ssica Lizbeth Vergara.<\/p>\n

Sin duda el proyecto de Yessi germin\u00f3 gracias a que fue abonado por el personal directivo, representado por la maestra Laura Cecilia Pardo Morquecho gran ser humano que practica sus valores en el d\u00eda a d\u00eda con los peque\u00f1os y quien ha sabido trabajar de la mano con su equipo docente, del personal de apoyo y de un sensacional grupo de padres, madres de familia, abuelos y vecinos de la localidad.<\/p>\n

Durante el evento, animado por el grupo de teatro Coraz\u00f3n de barranca<\/em> quien represent\u00f3 la obra del mismo nombre, que arranc\u00f3 los aplausos de grandes y peque\u00f1os, tambi\u00e9n nos deleitaron con exquisitos platillos que compartimos en un plantel ahora verde, en donde las golondrinas y sus nidos tienen cabida como parte del entorno educativo, en donde a\u00fan se puede escuchar el canto del cenzontle y observar p\u00e1jaros migrantes entre M\u00e9xico y Canad\u00e1, en donde se cuenta ya con espacios para el juego y la convivencia, en fin, en donde se pueden constatar los pasos importantes que se han dado hacia la sustentabilidad, dignos de ser tomados como un ejemplo a seguir si se quieren convertir en realidad los sue\u00f1os compartidos en favor de la vida en todas sus expresiones.<\/p>\n

Reaping smiles<\/p>\n

Four years into the project to create Sustainable Campuses, we were able to attend the harvest of smiles at preschool “Heroes of 47” in the rural community of Tepetzingo, in the municipality of Emiliano Zapata. Ths is where Y\u00e9ssica Lizbeth Vergara, undergraduate student in Educational Intervention at the National Pedagogical University, headquarters Cuernavaca, Morelos, did her social service, which involved to transform the preschool into a sustainable school, with the participation of the school community and with the support of Inspira, a civil association that promotes the transformation of schools and public spaces to make them generators of peace and harmony through youth volunteer work.<\/p>\n

During the session that took place at the preschool, as part of the activities of the Second Itenerant and Binational Forum “Science, art and tradition for sustainability” it was possible to harvest many smiles and promote hopes as we could witness the achievement of one of the main goals of the project, to promote sustainability in campuses wehre teachers and educational intervenors are trained for their potential as multipliers in their areas where they intervene.<\/p>\n

This session of the forum allowed us to observe that an educational intervenor is able to impact the entire school community and its environment.<\/p>\n

This day the forum saw how smiles emerged from children and filled with joy those involved in the collective work of building a dream and to those who witnessed this experience and were filled with hope and inspiration to share this experience across borders spreading it everywhere.<\/p>\n

It was a great satisfaction to receive together the harvest, sharing the joy among those of us who participated in the first stage of this project: Dawson College, Earth Values Institute, Ciudades Verdes A.C. , teaching staff and students from the UPN and UAEM, and those who continue to join this initiative: a delegation from Dawson College including three students who spent hours of their internship creating sustainability in this preschool.<\/p>\n

In a cordial atmosphere where you could taste the fruit of collective work and solidarity, in which the strength of the community social fabric, built on the basis of a shared dream, the fifth session of the Forum filled us with joy. It showered us with hope and it challenged us to share the seeds harvested and spread to other areas that require educational interventions as performed by our beloved sawer of smiles, Y\u00e9ssica Lizbeth Vergara.<\/p>\n

Undoubtedly Yessi’s project germinated thanks to the fact that it was supported by management, represented by Laura Cecilia Pardo Morquecho, a great human being who practices her values on a day to day basis with the children and who has managed to work hand in hand with her teaching staff, support staff and a sensational group of parents, grandparents and neighbors of the town.<\/p>\n

During the event, the theater group The Heart of the Canyon who represented their work by the same name. It drew applause from old and young. We were also delighted by the delicious food we shared in a now green campus, where the swallows and their nests have a place as part of the educational environment, where you can still hear the song of the mockingbird and observe migrant birds that travel between Mexico and Canada, where there are spaces for play and coexistence, in short, where you can observe the important steps taken towards sustainability, worthy to be taken as an example to follow if you want to realize shared dreams for life in all its expressions.<\/p>\n
