Greetings from all of us here at Compartiendo Nuestras Bendiciones. We hope this message finds you blessed. Here in Guatemala we have been busy putting your donations to work helping local children gain skills while they have fun. For now we are working every Saturday afternoon from 2-6 pm with a group of 20 children in our community of San Andres Itzapa. This month we should be starting biweekly with a new group of students in the rural community of Chicojon, San Martin Jilotepeque. As an example of the types of activities that we are doing, during recess of our meeting this week the children made homemade play dough from common items they can find in their kitchens at home (flour, salt and oil). This activity in addition to working on concepts of measurement such as cups and tablespoons and providing a fine motor workout, helps children whose families don't have the financial resources to buy costly commercially produced play dough. It is activities like these that your donations are supporting that provide children with opportunities to have fun while they learn and to enrich their creative and imaginative play. We thank you for your support.
Best,
Colleen
