In the last couple of months more and more kids are showing up in our afterschool program, some days up to 65 kids are participating.
We were able to give all the kids more nutricious snacks during the afternoon, such as Incaparina which is a protein drink for kids and a piece of fruit.
On the picture below you can see 2 sisters enjoying their snack. They came the first time about 3 months ago and didn't miss more than 2 afternoons ever since. They love to participate in our different activities suchn as handicrafts and sports but also always ask for a double snack. We hope we can activate and motivate those kids to continue studying and improving their health conditions.
One of the special activities we did with older girls in the last couple of months was Yoga. In a childish way they learned more about their breathing and controlling their emotions. Every single day they asked when the next Yoga class was going to happen.
Another special activity was a activity from our Director who is a qualified psychologist. He organized an activity focused on their safety on the street and what girls would have to do in case of strangers coming to close to them.
Thanks to all of you who have donated and made it possible to do all those incredible things here in the neighbourhood of Las Rosas in Quetzaltenango, Guatemala. It is very needed and we see the changes in new kids every single day.
