CLOSING THE YEAR 2011

Dear friends: It ´s been another succesful year that passed by. I want to give you many thanks for your support and confidence in this art project that has brought for 4 years already lots of fun and experiences for the Umasbamba school´s kids. Words are not enough to express our gratitude. We pray for you to be blessed always.

Have a Happy Christmas and great New Year to come!!!

The parents and the 4 teachers say thanks and til next year.  We prepared a great meal for all the children to say good bye.

 Mmm...delicious

 Some preferred to eat outside even if it was cold...The dogs are ready to get something too

We gave them discs with videos of this year performances and their pictures

Thanks to Farah and Amir´s donation the teachers bought these shelves for 3 of the classrooms 

 These are the kids who finished school this year. They will go to High School in other near villages. There is no High School in Umasbamba. They will be walking for some hours to get to school. We gave them simple watches like a farewell gift. The principal of the school and the classroom teacher also in the picture

 And we dance with them and their parents!!!

These are some of the paintings the children painted from their trip to Lima

They visited the Apu or Protector Mountain from Lima called San Cristobal

 The Ocean was their favorite place

And the park with all the animals from Perú!
