Community Service by Rosalie

Wednesday was back to school.....cannot tell you how much I am enjoying singing and laughing with the youngsters and hugging them as the period ends.....always too soon.

The kids are wonderful and eager to participate in whatever I suggest.  Today we said goodbye to Joan and Val who were just wonderful teaching the children. 

This morning, after our classes,  we met with the principal, as the other two CAARI people are leaving tonite.  The meeting included student representatives from our classes......a delightful change from previous meetings.!! They all told us what they liked about the program - they love the conversations as it helps them improve their English.  This is what we want to hear.  Presents were presented to Joan and Val.  It was a wonderful opportunity for us to hear from the children along with the principal and school coordinator who did a marvelous job organizing this meeting! 

Enjoy the pictures!  The students are just wonderful and very special! Rosalie
