A VERY BLESSED CHRISTMAS -With photos from some of the activities in the Childrens House in District of Patacas, Aquiraz, CE during the second part of the year 2021

A caleidoscopical view of photos from activities in the Childrens House for women and the younger generation in this second part of the year of 2021, still a few more weeks to go, with workshops and special programs, before Christmas. Even with the pandemic situation, with use of face masks, and faceshields, we have been able to carry out activities for a number of adults and children. And we are grateful for this. We have been focusing on art too, drawing and painting workshops, with a first module for children and some mothers too. Also school support has taken place in some months, and also English lessons for bigger boys from 5th to 8th form. In September the lessons at school did start up again parcially only. So a very long time without lessons at school the ordinary way for the children and adolescents here in the rural context, with lack of stimulation.

Childrens Day in October in the neighbour hood to the community Aldeia

A very special day with participation of around 100 children and some adults too. We decided to do open air, because of the higher number of participants, when open air, in the midst of pandemic restrictions too. We had presentations of dramas and small dinamics, musics, and competitions among students in our English Classes and also Craft workshops. And of course also a momento of cake and biscuits, popcorn, soft drinks too, and a surprise to each child.
