Since April 2019 I began going to a public school called ‘Rebeca Carrión’ where my purpose is to play with the kids and get to know them better. I’ve been going every Tuesday since then and i’ve enjoyed every second.

The school assigned me 5 wonderful kids whom I’ll be accompanying this whole year. Their names are – Josué, Ariana, Brisa, Mayra & Dario

Each visit, my group and I plan activities for them to enjoy, some examples of the activities we’ve done so far and desire to do in the future are – Origami, Ceramics and Painting.

First visit to Rebeca Carrión

In my first visit to ‘Rebeca Carrión’ we chose pairs & were assigned a table to work with. I met 5 children that would work with me all year long. We brought color pencils as well as paper with diverse animals and told them they could paint, they were extremely creative and created amazing work! I was truly impressed by their abilities. We talked as they painted and got to know more about each one of them, such as,: their favorite foods, tv show, movie and things to do on their free time! We shared stories and made jokes. It was a wonderful visit overall.

Tuesday 4th of June

A large group of girls and I, went walking to the school ‘Rebeca Carrión’ which is located nearby San Silvestre. As we arrived, we heard desperate screams of excitement coming from the kids, they were overwhelmed with happiness and we couldn’t be happier to see them again. We had planned to do a dance session in this visit, so, we brought out a speaker and played the music they liked the most. We taught them diverse dance moves and they happily danced along. We had lots of fun together and were sad when we had to leave.
