Dear VE Friends,
Can you believe that we are halfway through 2014? We recently came back from our July Jornada retreat and are recharged for the months ahead...
Our children's programs are implemented year round by our volunteers. These programs are developed to offer additional educational activities and motivational support for the children we serve. Our monthly health and wellness league, Liga Deportes, took place last Saturday. Each Liga de Deportes focuses on a sport and health topic, and this month's theme was comida saludable, or healthy eating, and we did all sorts of crazy relay races to get up and moving around. The weather was sunny and the children and the volunteers all had a great time.
After five and a half years as our Program Director, Mariah Healy recently had her last day with us in the office. Throughout her time at VE, Mariah has lead over 150 volunteers from 28 different countries through their volunteer experiences. VE would not be the amazing organization that it is without Mariah! We will miss Mariah dearly! Clémentine Bouchereau, a former VE volunteer with impressive international experiences, has taken over for Mariah as Program Director.
¡Saludos!
