Amiguitos Laguna School this week


Hello Everyone I am pleased to inform you of this week’s activities.  Attendance has been normal from Sunday to Friday 62 and Saturday was 63 with the addition of two new students. This week were hair cuts!  Children got haircuts with the aid of Raul’s mother (Guadalupe).  Also, the children who needed have injections ordered by Dr. Porfi in last week’s health clinic finished their treatments Saturday.  We had a meeting with the parents to evaluate the progress of children in the home as well as in our center.  Later we had the classes of English and computers and then we celebrated the birthdays of the month of January: Paola, Juan Carlos, Ana and I by eating wonderful cake.

Later we took to the group of young people for the inauguration of the new computer room at Goldi’s house (too dusty for the regular laptops in the center, though the special green laptops work well there).  We showed the photos to them of the young people of Denver sent this week by Curtis.  Maria Elena, Omar and Cesar were working using the Internet to do their homework from their schools and also they had to print papers for school.  Later we returned everyone home. Omar and Maria Elena each took a book to read from our library. And today Sunday after the activities we went to buy the other table for the community center.

I send greetings to everyone and thanks to all of you for your kind and ongoing support!   Saul
