Dove Is IN!

For months now Dove has been raising funds and working hard to prepare a new building for the Clubs to be held in. We needed something big enough to hold all of our new students, as well as all of our supplies and teaching materials. We wanted it secure and in a good area, but also close enough to the kids' houses that they would be able to easily and quickly walk to class. In May we found the perfect location- a huge building that used to be a bakery. It is in the Barrio Neuvo neighbourhood and is on the second floor, on top of a corner store. It took many weeks of renovations, but it is ready and this past Tuesday (August 11th) the first class was held in the new building, and the kids loved it! The first video is a tour of the building. The second is of the first class in the new building. It was the Boys Club and the boys in the video are talking about what they like about the Club and the new location.
