During January and February in Argentina we have enjoyed two things: Summer and school holidays! This time of the year has arrived and with the sun and the heat, the girls multiplied thir desire of playing and having fun. From Mensajeros de la Paz we daily work to promote the children's right to play and to recreate: It is important for children to give a break to school stress, homework and schedules. In addition, recreation is a way of socialization that allows girls to make new friends, rest from school, develop new skills and do different and fun things.
So now... What have they been up to this summer? We will tell you!
The girls attended a holiday camp and had a great time! They did many sports like swimming, volleyball, handball, soccer and also took dance classes. A special activity they enjoyed was a yoga class given by Dafne Schilling, a highly-recognized yoga teacher in Argentina who gave them wonderful class. Yoga is a recommended activity for childhood on their search for balance and harmony, because it is good basis for the future of young people to enjoy a cheerful and healthy adult life.
Despite the difficult circumstances of life and thanks to the work of all our team and the donor network that you are part of, we can give the girls the summer break they deserve. Thanks a lot!
