Classes Begin
This way to La Casa de los Niņos!
|
December and January saw the return of many old friends and English classes began in earnest with a nearly-full contingent of volunteer teachers. The kids enthusiastically welcomed former
teachers and new as a regular schedule was developed and everyone settled into their routine. Among the "veterans" who returned to teach at La Casa were
Bonnie, Carole, Glenn, Karen, Marge, Dr. Martin, Norman, Ray, Rose and Susan. New teachers include Dan, Glen II, Janette, Jayne, Joyce, Lois and Susan II.

Special Thanks
Computers Capture Kids' Attention

Special thanks goes out to the many generous people and gorups of William's Lake, that include The William's Lake Rotary Club, which raised $1,000 to contribute to La Casa de los Niņos
(used to purchase a new stove, kitchen supplies and cooking utensils, blackboards, films, boxes for school supplies), John Hack of Ometrix, who donated a photocopier & paper, and William Hahe of the Salvation Army, who
sent toys, stuffed animals and dolls. Thank you all very much!

Visiting Teacher
Some of the Kids Learning Origami

Among our January visitors was Jana Barkin, who taught a yoga class. Everyone had a lot of fun as the kids learned some of the history and purpose of yoga, and then
practiced exercises making "sharks", "cranes", "circle of trees" and many more.
