Debbie's Reflections

Hola a todos!

This morning we went to visit a private high school in the small town of La Paz, just a short distance from La Villa de San Antonio where we are located. It is a Catholic high school where 7 or 8 of the Hogar Tierra Santa children attend school. They are in exam week now, but had a presentation of the fourteen Stations of the Cross. All the students had roles, either speaking or acting. It was a wonderful experience for all of us. The kids were appreciative that we came to see them.

We are so quickly approaching our last few hours at the Hogar. Our plans are to have an exhibition of the art projects that the older students learned how to do with Luis, our Nicaraguan friend, and member of the group. The cards turned our beautifully. The students will keep apportion of the proceeds to buy new materials to continue making more of the artwork and cards, and to continue selling in the future, as well as to teach the younger children how to do this technique called “repujado.”


Well, my last project here is with the preschool age kids. We are going to work on a few songs for our farewell program. Even though this is my fifth trip here to Hogar Tierra Santa, it is always hard to say goodbye to our dear friends of all ages. I hope to post some of the video I have taken soon, and hope to see a large group ready to return her next year!

Hasta pronto……
