I posted recently about some of the classroom education and wanted to post a few pictures of some of the vocational activities.
As we prepare for teams, it is still a way the kids can learn. Some of the older girls work in the kitchen to prepare meals for the teams while some of the boys may help with the physical labour. It is a great way for the kids to interact. Not only do they learn social skills, they build relationships.
When the kids get out of school, they all have lunch together before the boys return to the hacienda. While they wait, they do anything from homework, play football, enjoy the playground or hang out. Recently a couple of the boys have decided to rebuild a dilapidated Foosball table.
We also have a volunteer that comes in and teaches sewing class. The sewing machines have been donated over the past years. With the boys moved to the other facility, the directors decided to make one of the dorms an official sewing room. It is a tremendous blessing as the kids improve their skills. The youth group especially love it when it is time for them to do a skit. They become very creative with what they can make from old clothes and scrap material.
Ira, Paco and Kike have been doing some preparation for projects and Tonita cleaning the bodega. I have been working in the kitchen this week and enjoying time with other volunteers.
Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
