Our office team keeps growing! We are excited to welcome Nicole Hoyrup from Copenhagen, Denmark to the VE Global community. Nicole is our new Assistant Executive Director Intern and will assist with program management and resource development.
The annual event, Carnaval, at the end of February, celebrating the end of our ¡Vamos a Leer! reading program was a great success! The children enjoyed the carnival games that the volunteers set up, winning prizes, and swimming. Make sure to check out the photo blog!
Yoga was this month`s Liga de Deportes theme. Our Chilean Board Treasurer, María Jose Fuentes taught over 40 children great moves and breathing techniques in a gymnasium in Santiago. We also played soccer and volleyball, ate a healthy lunch, and played trivia with questions about yoga.
Next month is our biannual Festival de Arte! The theme is recycled art. The volunteers have been working hard to plan workshops and activities throughout the month in order to get the children ready for the event. We are very excited to see what creations the children come up!
