To the sound of Champeta, with pumpkins, sweets, games and recreation, the Victims Unit, with the support of the National Navy, arrived at Aguas Negras, in San Onofre (Sucre), and celebrated the day of “Halloween” with more than 200 children belonging to the Subject of Ethnic Collective Reparation.

The activity was developed as community strengthening, integrating the community belonging to the Collective Repair Subject.

The event was enlivened by a champeta musical group and had an inflatable, which served for the children to spend a joyful and fun day, complemented by an activity of  "painting the children´s face" and delivery of gifts from the Unit.

Isaac Hernández, territorial director of Sucre, said: “This activity is very beautiful, through it we can integrate a community that has suffered severe blows from violence and we seek to contribute to the emotional repair of these people. It is satisfying to know that the children in this area left the routine and had their Halloween day in advance”.

It is important to highlight that the aforementioned Repair Subject is in the closing stage of community enlistment and then the affectations and damages that the community suffered during the armed conflict will be identified, in order to establish in a concerted manner with the community, the measures tending to repair the damage.

The Comprehensive Reparation Plan includes the strengthening of the skills and abilities of the members of this community, so that in the future they can obtain the support of their families by their own hands.
