Firstly, we want to apologize for the lack of updates in the past couple of months. Time sure flies when you are having fun! You can be rest assured that all of the kids are happy and healthy. They are all doing so well in our programs and in fact, we have even added a few more kids! A new list with children needing sponsors will be posted soon. I want to send a huge thank you to our current sponsors...we could not do this without you!
The kids had a fantastic Christmas and New Year, and everyone received early groceries for Christmas dinner and family gifts. We busted into the New Year with happy healthy families and a lot planned for 2011.
Our most current program changes are the Jewellery and English program. We have a new Jewellery teacher who is teaching the girls how to make different types of necklaces with natural resources right from the island. She is wonderful and the girls are really enjoying her class.
Our new English teacher has started with a small group of kids who have shown a keen interest in learning English, and along with Rosetta Stone, one on one tutoring and class work, the kids have really come along in just a few weeks. Gymps, our club director has been working with the boys, teaching them sports...lately they have been focusing mainly on basketball. At the beginning of each class, the kids learn and review basic English as well.
We are busy preparing and planning for this upcoming summer; our plan is to have the club open five days per week again. We are already booking in volunteers; long and short term. If you have ever thought about, or wanted to volunteer abroad – this is the year to do it! We would love to have you down, and trust us – you will have the most amazing time of your life.
So stay posted for more updates – and photos!
See you soon, hasta luego, goodbye and adios!
