| Through February and March we have been developing various activities made possible with help from our many friends and supporters. The latest new activity we have undertaken is a music education programme that we are currently implementing on a pilot basis in local schools and one of the barrios where we support a pre-school. As well as the activities shown here in these photographs, we are also continuing training and personal development workshops in the local penitentiary, our preventive health work in local barrios and rural communities, the legal advice programme, the sewing workshop and our ceramics workshop. So there is plenty happening on a routine basis as well as one-off activities like a teacher training event - for over 40 teachers - which we are organizing together with the Global Education Fund and a health delegation organized by Dr. Peter Loewinthan and his colleagues at Dorchester House. More on those events and visits in a future post. | |
