This blog I would like to focus on our newest and most exciting addition to our program...a Project Discovery Center(PDC)! This past week the girls and I found a small two bedroom place to rent out and transform into our P.D. headquarters. There are two small rooms with a bathroom. The first room we decided to make a meeting/classroom. We will conduct our English and math classes in this space and the other room is a larger hangout place. We put a carpet down and will buy some pillows to put in there to relax. We, also, have a small dresser with lots of books, magazines, and games in it. The best part, though, about this room is the fact that we had each student put their hand print and signature on one of the walls....pictures are coming! Words really can´t explain how excited all of us are about this new outlet for the program!
Other than spending a lot of time getting the PDC up and running, we have been preparing ourselves for Children´s Day (tomorrow). We actually don´t have PETI tomorrow, because it´s a national holiday, but we had a nice festival for the kids today. We found a trampoline to put up for them and gave them a lot of sugar! (what´s a holiday without those things!??!)
We are, also, preparing to have a Capoeira master come to give a course to the kids this Saturday. It should be very fun and interesting how a master of the sport interacts with our kids!
Besides all of that, we have been travelling on the weekends and enjoying the mostly warm weather. We miss all of you in the states and continue to pray for you! Have a great week. God bless,
Megan
