Farewells to the final group of the year

We have reached the last week in the project. The school year is wrapping up and the children will be on vacation in two weeks. The TMs were looking forward to this week. On Wednesday we celebrated Dia del Nino, (Day of the Child) before saying our farewells.

We finished our last stove on Tuesday. This group completed 3 in total. Overall, it was a fantastic experience for everyone involved. The families were so gracious and welcoming to the TMs and I believe the TMs received a lot from their interactions with the families.

Day of the Child was also celebrated on Wednesday and the TMs took part in a little dance number. After the festivities, the mothers who had received stoves prepared a special meal for the TMs.

We ended the year with a great group and I know they came away from the program with a fantastic experience. This group is energized about the activities of the WPF and WFM and is anxious to return to the US to speak about their experiences.

We were impressed by the energy of this group and the optimistic attitude. They were also healthy! We had very little trouble with TM illness. They truly got the most out of this program in many regards and their feedback proves it.

We have made strides in the classroom, the food program and have done exceptionally well with the stove project. All TMs combined this past year have improved and advanced this project and we are excited to see what the next year will bring.
