Hello everyone!

Bill Benson, the director/ founder of “The Village” Mountain Mission Project, came down last week for a visit.  He had always wanted the mission to get involved with the children of the Dominican through one way or another.  He was thrilled to sit in on a couple of my classes.  He was almost as happy as the kids who were more than delighted to have him there.  J

I have a couple of class photos here…

 Pueblo Nuevo Class

 El Estrecho Abajo Class

And a couple of random photos of the class…

And this is Chicha (Carmen’s daughter who helps with one of the classes and who spent 2 hours this evening braiding my hair J ) and Michael (the 2 year old who Carmen took in) and me ofcourse…

And here is my twin for the day… J Isaura… she thought it was so funny that we were wearing the same color clothes!

I also had my first parent’s meeting.  I was super nervous, but both the meetings in each village went very well.  I just hope the parent’s understood my butchered Spanish.  Hahaha

To the daycare people, the kids come running into class singing and asking for the “tooty ta” song, which I have in Spanish.  They just love it! Haha (for non-daycare people, “Tooty Ta” is a song where you tack on a different motion each time you sing the little song, it starts with thumbs- up, and ends with thumbs up, elbows back, feet apart, knees together, bottoms up, tongue out, eyes shut, and turn around. It’s a great song!)

That’s all for now!

Buhbye!
