Week Seven Review

We have been incredible lucky and blessed with the weather (knock on wood!!!!!). It always seems to rain on Mondays and Wednesdays during the afternoon but miraculously we get rain only in the mornings of Tuesdays and Thursdays! We hope that whatever forces may be that seem to be favoring us continue to do so!

This week's activities were full-on. Full-on energy, full-on competition, full-on confusion, and full-on fun. These extremely alternative Olympic games were very well received by the children and it was a great sight to see all participating, big and small.

An important evolution that has occurred is that our age-group has extended from 9-12 to 3-13. We are pleased to welcome all of these age-groups and feel like we are reaching them all, though at times this adds more challenges. Still, we seek to incorporate everyone and facilitate thought and growth in each dynamic individual at his or her own level.

We like to send a big thanks to our volunteers this week!
Tuesday: Mark (England), Rachel (U.S.), Nelly (Guápulo)
Thursday: Mark (England), Nelly & Anita (Guápulo), Julie (Denmark)

Also, a special thanks to a couple of our previous volunteers who were there in spirit after "donating" their shoes for one of the competitions. Thanks Caroline and Guillermo (France)!!!
