.Newsletter January 2012

    The month of January is the beginning of the school year in Nicaragua and the month that children register.  The teachers of La Escuelita have been registering children every day this month and classes will begin February 6 as they do all over the country.

    Many children will be returning to this school and there will be many new students as is true every year.  The parents in the neighborhood like their children to go to La Escuelita because there is a food program, medical and dental program and they know the teachers really care about their children.

    The economic situation around the world means that there are poorer families with more needs in this school.  If you are so moved, please consider sponsoring a child who comes from one of these families.  The school is a very important aspect of the lives of these children and their families. 

     The medical team of nurses from Yale University and the dental team of hygienists from Pennsylvania will be down there in March working with the children.  There is always much excitement when these delegations are at the school because each comes with a Health Fair that teaches important aspects of nutrition and prevention and involves both the children and the parents in learning about their own health.

    The teachers are looking forward to a good year and we hope you will join us here, through Facebook and as a donor to be part of the projects of La Escuelita.
