Muchas gracias por su ayuda

Dear Father Simon and Friends of Holy Family Parish Pensby,

Greetings to you all from Sagrada Familia El valle Jicamarca Anexo 22. Since our last newsletter at Easter much has been happening in the Valley.

With your generous donation we have been able to start some new projects to help our people and especially the young mums and school children. We have started a Mums and Toddlers group 3 mornings a week and this is attended at the moment by 12 young toddlers and their mums. The aim of the Club "Rainbow" is to enable the children to develop social skills and to play and learn at the same time. We have 2 young Mums who help us to run it. To equip this club (with tables, chairs, Lego building blocks, jizsaws, plasticine, crayons, balls, animals charts etc) we used $700 and will use another $100 will be used during the year to treat the mums and to celebrate birthdays.

We were able with your money to give school materials to 60 children who attend our homework club and for this we used $300. The children and parents were delighted with this gesture and, as a result, this year our numbers have increased in the classroom. Thank you for your generosity.

To accommodate the increasing numbers we have extended the classroom making a separate area for 6th grade and Secondary. This work was completed this week and we were able to pay for it with your money $500. The children are delighted with it and enjoy the peace away from the younger children.

The children who come to do homework are given a glass of juice or a hot drink and a roll. We will be able to finance this with your help too $600 should cover the cost for this.

For Christmas we will use $200 to give a party for all who attend the activities, not forgetting the craft work group.

So you can see that your donation has been able to fund quite a few activities.

The people of Sagrada Familia send their thanks "Muchas Gracias por su ayuda".

Hope all of you will now enjoy some sunshine.


Con mucho cariño a todos,

Sisters Jacinta and Marie.
