So... feliz día de la Madre!

Last Wednesday we celebrated Pauline's despedia (Spanish for farewell party) after two and a half months of work at Granada Street Kids. Each kid had a word for her.
Thank you Pauline, we wish you all the best for your future!

Thank you very much to Oyin Bankole and The Jehovah Jireh Project for the very generous donation of 100 pencils and sharpeners!

Since we did not go out last Saturday, the boys took the opportunity to renovate our soccer field.
You can come and see it yourself at Escuela Nueva Vida Mondays and Thursdays from 4pm when we have soccer training with our coach Livio. Other teams are always welcome to share a game! Plus it is a nice way to get to know us and bond with our chavalos.

May 1 is a holiday in Nicaragua like anywhere else. But at Granada Street Kids, it does not mean a "day off". We had several activities for the boys staying at school including board games, movies, the pool opened the whole day and for the laziest ones: siesta!
Happy Labor day everybody!
