2nd week at the new community center...

This is our first week of hosting Manos de Colores at our new Community Center! Our wonderful volunteers helped move the last of the items over last week and now the new classrooms are nearing completion. Many of our activities have already been held here, such as salsa lessons, and amazing cooking lessons from Pati. Now we have completed the transition as we hosted our first Saturday school here over the weekend, and Manos de Colores was held here yesterday! What a great start to the week!

WE ARE HERE!

I´m very pleased to be typing this from our BRAND NEW OFFICE, full of sunlight, books, and the smell of fresh paint (maybe that´s what´s making me delirious...). Yes, it´s true. We have finally moved into our new community center! Volunteers stayed after lunch on Friday to help lug over boxes of books, tables, chairs, and the stove and refrigerator from the old school to our new location at 28 Avenida. This week we´re finishing up some work on the classrooms and by next week all the kiddos will be over here for Manos de Colores as well.

This week marks the last that we´ll be working at the construction site of the new community center! Well, we think so, at least. J The construction hombres came over for lunch today, whipped up by Chef Pati, and went away stuffed. This weekend we´re going to haul our books, papers, computadoras, desks, chairs, you name it, over to the new location. Update your address books! As of March 8 we´ll be at 28 Avenida 0-64 interior, Zona 1, Quetzaltenango, Guatemala.

This week at El Nahual...goodbyes and hellos

This week we said goodbye to our International Coordinator, Rachel Wakling, who has been with us since the beginning of November 2009. Rachel has done a fantastic job at El Nahual and her energy, sense of humor, and Project Management spreadsheets will be sorely missed. Thanks for all your hard work, all the good times, and the commitment to El Nahual, Rx!
