take a break

In the midst of their “extra” activities the girls continue to work hard to get their homework done and also find some time just to play.

Oh the Drama

So many fun things coming in to these girls lives 

The girls had theater and English activities facilitated by visiting groups from Ohio State and Gannon University.

it's a good thing, volunteers and crafts

There are many people that make Nueva Vida a success. Not the least of whom are the Staff.  

These ladies truly love these girls.

But of equal importance are the volunteers who dedicate their time, energy, and hearts to helping improve these girls lives and future outlooks.

Much to the delight of the girls, volunteers Diane, Judith, Pauline,  and a visiting group from Franklin, PA, provided many opportunities to do creative crafts during the last six months.

Valentine’s Day was celebrated with a visiting group from Franklin, PA.

personal development skills

Beginning in January, each week one of the girls gives a presentation about her life to the other girls and the staff in order to build community as well as presentation and listening skills.

To add to the girls education, and thinking outside the box

we've begun discussions, the first centered around the question “Should there be zoos?” and took a field trip to the Centenario.  We plan to visit Animaya before the end of the school year.
