We spent a wonderful day in Antigua yesterday. We visited a new school called Mundo Creativo and spent time with those teachers who attended the conference. They were doing wonderful activities with the pre-K, Kindergarten, and 1st Grade students. We were very encouraged and inspired by what we saw- very developmentally appropriate, very colorful, good teaching. Then we headed to the market in Antigua for shopping. It is fun to interact with the vendors and bargain for a "good deal." We had so much fun together admiring the local handicrafts and buying souvenirs. We finished the day with lunch at Pollo Campero and a trip to the famous Antigua McDonalds for pictures. The volcano was spewing smoke and we were able to take some pictures.
It is impossible to summarize adequately a week like this: We return with even more of a passion to pray for the teachers and students in these three school, to pray for ways to strengthen and support them in their work, and to share our story with people at home that want to share in this vision.
