While we fret....

While we adults fret because of the tight restrictions to stay home during the coronavirus the children at Casa Esperanza of Angels are having a great time.    Gigi planned a summer of activities for the children but when the schools closed, she put the plan into action.   Each day during the week, the children have classes in various subjects, crafts and all kinds of activities. I've asked Gigi to write up a little about what they are doing when she has time and I will add that to my blog with greater details.  Gigi's teacher skills are proving very valuable!

The tent where the church services are held now is the location for their summer classes.   There is a good breeze through it and it is spacious to do the crafts and activities.    A computer system can be used for video lessons.    

Gigi said the children come too early as she is setting up and she has to send them back home for 15 minutes to allow her time to get things in order.   That is how excited the children are to come for the classes. 

A new boy (10 years old) came to live at Casa about a week ago.   For a few days, it was difficult for him but now he is fitting right in and having a wonderful time.  They hope to get permission to bring his sisters to live here soon.

The girls are living with different uncles but the government needs to locate their mother to get permission so the uncles will release the girls.   The little boy was in a government facility so it was easier to process him into the system to accept him at Casa Esperanza of Angels.   Things are going great and the children are very happy.
