In December, we held our biannual Festival de Arte, with 20 children from three of our partner organizations across Santiago. The theme for this Festival was Superheroes!
Festival de Arte is a celebration of the children’s creativity, as well as our volunteers! We know how important it is to be able to express this creativity, as well as academic skills, so our volunteers hold workshops in the months leading up to Festival, where the children have fun drawing, painting and much more!
At each festival there is a performance from the current volunteers and interns, followed by performances from the children and their tíos and tías. This spectacle included minions, ninjas, everyday superheroes and some fun games.
After the performances, we enjoyed some delicious snacks and our judge carefully chose the winning pieces of art from each category. She was so impressed with all of the pieces and with the variety of ideas the children came up with.
We are already excited for our next Festival de Arte in April and can’t wait to once again see the children’s creativity shine through!
