Monday
to Wednesday
Things are getting
complicated now as the first group are improving and I am
into verbs, conversation, questions and answers. Testing my
brain to the limit. The new group two is lively and catching
up fast, probably because I now know what I am doing (I
think)
This week I have been asked
to photograph different placements after lessons that I love
doing.
These will be used for publicity and power point
presentation. Here are todays two.
FRUTOS
DE MAES
Wednesday I
photographed the children and this Institution for Cross
Cultural for publicity and power point presentations
The community day care
centre of Frutus De Maes is an institution founded in 1999.
It was founded by Tia Mira, a community woman, resident of
Alagardos, Salvador. This is an extremely poor area where
many people built houses made of wood and cardboard, many on
stilts in the ocean. The sanitation is unbelievable and the
area has the very basic and minimal living conditions and is
excluded from the Society’s rights and benefits
She started to bring the
children to her house in order to take care of them whilst
their parents were working or for other reasons. The number
of children grew very quickly so she had to look for another
place to put them. The present location was donated and at
the beginning was just a large piece of land. Little by
little she built a hugh house that could house many
children. The local community helped with labour and
materials, all donated free.
This hugh house is now a
day care centre and provides education for 125 children who
live in poverty. Its mission is to guide and guarantee
education for children ranging from 0-five years old. The
financial support for this wonderful venture comes from the
local government and from donations. |
