¡Saludos! It´s been a busy week for Semilla. Last Friday we finished our work at Honrar la Vida in Quito. The Teachers´workshop was a great success. They work so hard and are so dedicated, despite difficult circumstances. They enjoyed having a few hours dedicated to their own well being, which was the focus for the workshop.
Monday we left the city and traveled to Mindo, a small town a couple hours from Quito. We had fun playing theater games with some children from the school there.
Wednesday we went to a very rural area of the subtropics close to Santo Domingo de los Tsachilas. We worked with a local one-room school comprised of 16 children from second grade to seventh grade and one teacher. Again we played a lot of theater games with them and involved the children in a mural project to beautify the school. It was an amazing experience to work with these children. They are in such a remote area, that they never have had the experience to do projects like we were able to offer them.
