Hello Friends,
Since our last update the kids in San Miguel Viejo attended a summer Camp in August before returning to school. They enjoyed and benefited from a week long of activities in Crafts, Sports, Social Awareness and of course, snacks.
All of the children that participate in the classes and workshops that OjalaNinos offers, attend formal school also. As many of our supporters know, the community we serve only has a school up to the 6th grade so continuing their education can be a challenge.
So far, together with INAEBA (Instituto de Alfabetizacion y Educacion Basica para Adultos) we have helped a few who never finished middle school for this reason, achieve their diplomas.
With your continued support, we also have awarded half a dozen "Becas" Scholarships or Grants to help with financial assistance. The kids attend public school yet have to buy the uniform, the books and again, get there. This helps with transportation to the areas where they can continue middle school and high school.
The children awarded assistance must keep their grade average up and attend at least one of OjalaNinos regular classes or workshops. The also have a computer avaialable for research and better presentation in their formal school work.
Please check out the pictures of a few of our recipients and Gaby, our Educational Director.
Warm regards and much gratitude
Betty Lopez
