In June, we carried out an intensive training with selected participants from 2013 and 2014.
76 principals, teachers, health workers came together in a beautiful forest near El Salvador's highest peak, in the area of Chalatenango in the North side of the country. Day and night, they worked so well to find their own problems and heal inside. All participants went through challenging physical and emotional processes to strengthen their health, emotional regulation and clarity of vision. They made groups and practiced creating harmony within the group to become active healing members in their communities. The last day we celebrated their effort, everybody was so joyful and hopeful.
During the next months, until November, they will all train groups of 30 people in their communities, and further to an exam in December, they will be certified as brain education instructors.
This is a very special group, who will be leading the process of creating health, happinness and peace in their communities.
We also want to share with you that we are now constructing our first brain education training center in El Salvador! It is a refurbished classroom in one of the schools where we've been working since 2012, Joaquin Rodezno. A the heart of the country's capital, this school is a very unique place, where, through brain education training, the principal (Gloria), teachers and students have led a process of transforming the whole school atmosphere and culture in 3 years. We are now fundraising to help them remake the floor, the windows, paint, change the cealing and install air conditioning, among other changes. Tehy will also need a projector and a music system for their training. Other than the school members, this center will serve as a space for training for other schools' teachers as well as for the parents of the students, who are mostly street vendors around the area.
Thank you always for your support. We will continue sharing the good news as we go.
