Into the swing of things in Peña Blanca

We completed two stoves this week and have one more to go before the TMs depart on Thursday. We also attended a cultural exhibition with our indigenous guide Miguel Tuesday night with Joy and Genie. This is also the free weekend for the TMs and they will be able to explore a little more of the region and some villages around the lake.

Nikki has been very engaged with the children and affectionate. She is dedicated and has really enjoyed her work on the stove as well.

Nicole did well this week. She and Nikki teamed up to build a stove and she really enjoyed it. The family where she built it also invited her for a traditional meal for lunch. She worked hard on the stove and has also improved her performance with her 1st grade class this past week.

Nicole had a couple of potentially tough days in her 4th grade class and came through with flying colors. The classroom teacher she works with is also the Principal and was called away for meetings. Therefore, she took on a lot of extra duties and lessons.

Michelle has been very dedicated to her morning class and has put a real effort in the afternoon as well. She is always well-prepared and has a fantastic work ethic. We are extremely pleased with her work on the project here.

Renee has been a real asset to her kids and her classroom teacher in kindergarten and Marina has a great relationship with her 5th and 6th grade classroom teacher Vilma. She is very engaged in the morning classes and it has been very helpful having her work with our largest class (fotos to come next week, I promise - Dom).
