After spending a year meeting weekly with a group in the San Jose neighborhood in Tenancingo, a new outreach has emerged. This past week we began a Tuesday and Thursday activity where between 3 and 5 PM, kids can bring their homework and we help them out. Many of these kids don't see their father much during the day, if he even lives at home and their mother doesn't have time, so they send the kids and we are available to walk them through understanding their work and doing it. After finishing, they got to play with a foamy puzzle.
A few of the moms have come and asked for assistance in learning how to multiply and a bit more basic math. We need to fix up the place better and need more volunteers to help out. As it is, we are so glad to encourage, affirm and love these children.
