After being here a year, we are now posting events we are experiencing for the 2nd time. This one is graduation. This was the final week of school and the kids all worked very hard to practice skits, songs, recital of scripture and today they put all that work into action. It was so cute to see the little ones dance around, the teenagers act and very moving to see the older youth do dramatic performances.
Many children were recognized for moving into primary, secondary or high school. The big event of course is that of the 6 students who are now High School graduates. In addition, this year Pan de Vida had 3 graduates with the Bachelor of Pedagogy degree.
I know that this is an exciting time in their life and everyone enjoyed the celebration, but they also have anxiety as they move to the next chapter of their journey. We pray they will seek God's direction and there are lots of mentors as they move in that direction.
