Visitors

We have had some visitors in Camoapa lately.

Three volunteers from Switzerland (Johanna, Martin and Frida) have been here for several weeks now. They have been working very creatively with our children at the Hogar, helping them with their homework, teaching English, but also teaching new games and projects that are new to our kids. They learned about us through a program in Granada called Proyecto Mosaico, which connects people, who are looking to volunteer in Nicaragua, to projects that match their interests. Proyecto Mosaico has similar programs in Guatemala and El Salvador. We have been really excited to have them here (the kids have been especially excited!) because of their dedication to the children and the wonderful way they have been interacting with them. We will be sad when they are gone :(

















We also received a visit from two of our Board members, Lisa and Carol, who traveled all the way from Massachusetts and New York, respectively. While here, they did some traveling but also participated in a large meeting with all of the mothers of our children about the potential for future projects. [Stay tuned: more information about that to come!] Carol, a licensed social worker, provided a series of workshops on play-group therapy to Aleyda (our in house social worker) and Lisette (our visiting psychologist).
