Ive been working a lot lately at a local NGO called Circulo de Amigas. Long story short it is located in the city of Jinotega, in the neighborhood Linda Vista del Sur, and gives scholarships to girls from the neighborhood. Theses girls are outstandingly smart, outgoing and really driven. A lot of them end up going on to University . . . that is incredible.
Anyway, I recently started a reading circle with some of the younger girls at Circulo. They read a lot of picture books. I want them to see that when you are 8 years old, Harry Potter can open your eyes, Narnia can be a whole new world for you.
We have been meeting weekly, a group of 5-16 girls around 8 years old. We are working on the first Narnia book. They love it! After the reading circle we do an activity (crafts, fun science experiments, geography or cooking/nutricion). The picture from this week are crafts. Halloween masks anyone?
