During the school year, Sunday afternoons are spent doing homework. But since school has been out, the children have had some art classes. Our friend, Nathan, has come to Casa de Esperanza and worked with the children. He divided them into two groups and did all sorts of things with them. One week he took them outside and they painted with water colors and then put salt on their paintings before they dried.
Another week, Nathan helped them make play dough. The older ones formed their play dough into stars, hoping to put them in the store to sell. One week they made paper machie.
Many times we did not know in advance what Nathan had planned, but the kids always had fun. Some of them are quite good at art. Some have a ways to go.

How nice that the children that live at the home have so many opportunities. You all sure do see that their lives are enriched in so many ways. They do not realize how blessed they are to be able to live there but one day they will. I know they miss their families so much. I always like to see what the kids are doing. linda
I just love these pictures! I know the kids are having a blast with their art projects. I wish I could join them. I would love to buy their stars.
these kids are so blessed to be at casa....and have so many take an interest in them.
