Meet Dalila, one of our amazing teachers at our Dreamer Center school. Dalila is 25 years old and is full of energy for teaching her little kindergarteners! As a child she remembers always wanting to play teacher with her friends and when she was old enough to choose a career she chose to study Pre-primary Education. She specialized her college work to work specifically with children aged 0 to 6. By doing this she received two degrees, Bachelors of Teaching in Early Childhood Education and Pre-primary and a Bachelor of Early Childhood Education and Pre-primary.
Dalila has worked with children under the age of 7 for 3 years now with us, and in total she has 8 years of experience as an early childhood educator. She says "if you have talent to make people laugh and create an environment for happy children then that is what you need to do."
Dalila is a very friendly person and likes to help others. Although she says that she does not have much talent for cooking or sports she makes up for it with her passion for going to the gym. She also likes to play, dance, sing, and take pictures with her students.
Three years ago she began to work at The GOD´S CHILD Project, in the Dreamer Center, and from day one she has continued to grow personally and professionally by sharing with each child who belongs to the center. As an educator she feels fulfilled, satisfied, and really happy. She says working here has been a mix of discovering through unique experiences based on the children’s lives but she is very happy that she chose a profession that is so full of love. She says that she feels like every day at work she is on vacation because of all the laughter, hugs, and kisses from her students.
We are so lucky to have Dalila here with us at the GOD’S CHILD Project! Thank you for your support and continued desire for our children to have the best teachers Guatemala has to offer.
