Monday, we worked with the kids for the entire school day. The main need we were told, was one-on-one time, something the children don't get very often.
Every period we worked with a different class. Something we helped out with a lot was reading. The children don't often have access to fluent English speakers, so assisting them with reading was useful to their learning.
One of the other volunteers, Kyla, is here with a dance program, and she teaches dancing most days while we do other things. We joined one of her classes with the UKGs (Kindergarteners). It was the most adorable thing to see tiny, bright-eyed five-year-olds dance. I think I want to take a little UKG home with me.:)
We also had playtime with those cuties--and I captured some precious moments on my camera. It was the best time of the day.

we are to teach real peace in this world, and if we are to carry on a
real war against war, we shall have to begin with the children." -Gandhi
