No more leaks!

Saturday, January 16, 2009

Today was an awesome day at the club! The new programs and scheduling is being put into place and everything is going smoothly. The morning consisted of the puppet program, and the little kids working with Terry and Damaris. The kids were so calm - these teachers really have a great gift of working with small children.

The afternoon was spent with the older kids and Tadeu working on the music program. After hours of auditions last week, Tadeu made his decisions. The kids who did not make the band will be our production crew. They are all really excited.



Our band is going to be called Banda Club POP. Here is the list of our new band:

15 members

Christina
Rosemary
Marco
Alani
Jeffri
Luery C.
Coco
Andy
Marcos
Yohan
Angel Luis
Andrieli
Seliel
Alberto
Kelvin

Singers: 10 members

Ally
Yesenia (neighbor that was listening through the window during auditions)
Isamay
Carolina
Eddie
Lorainia
Vanessa
Franciel
Oliver
Elizabeth

The kids also brainstormed ideas of what they will write songs about. Some of the topis included responsibility, earth quakes, recycling/garbage, kindness, love of parents - and that is just to name a few - We have such intelligent kids!

Some more great news - our roof is fixed!!! The owner of the building came to see what was happening last Thursday, and by the next day he had it fixed. It is still raining, and there were only a couple of minor leaks - but he is fixing them now.

Stay tuned for more later this week!
