Good Times

We've had a very busy summer so far, and it has been packed with progress, growth, and lots of joy. Humor me while I share what's been going on through different literary media.

Women's Exercise:

• Martha completed her month-long internship and is now certified as a Manna Fitness Instructor
• Rosario AND Susana have completed 100 classes!!
• We bought a plaque for the "Exercise Club", where all the women who have attended 100 classes will have their names engraved
• We are assembling a bungee cord cage to house the exercise balls
• We made new signs and had them laminated to protect them against wear and tear
• We are almost done translating the "Women's Exercise Manual" for future training of fitness instructors

Celebration/Despedida:

We had a fiesta
To celebrate the year
A way to say "bye"
Without shedding a tear

Food galore
And basketball too
Laughter with friends
And all of the crew

Host families attended
There were dogs and children
Doctors and students
Husbands of women

Once strangers, now friends
We gathered to be
Together as a family
Before we leave

Alinambi Kids:

The students in our class started coming to the library a few weeks ago to complete projects for their open house for parents. Since then, they have come almost everyday to color, read, interact with new friends they met, and do many many puzzles. It's been a pleasure to hang out with them outside of the classroom setting. They are great kids, and I hope they continue to use the library and its resources.

Thanks for indulging me and letting me fail in my attempt to be creative.
