This post is very behind but I was trying to catch up to Term 4 before writing it. What have we been doing since the start of Term 4 you ask?? Well let me tell you! Phil has been studying nonstop and going to school as usual and I have been working (some), having a ball with friends, and volunteering!
Three days a week we head over to the "Limes" area "behind the Texaco" (Grenada terms) for the
Limes After-School Program. This program is run by the SO's of SGU and more specifically by two dear friends of mine Laura Lackey and Julie Connolly. Just to remind you, Julie is a great friend I met way back in England and she just got married this summer! Nicci (another amazing friend from the England group) has also arrived on the island finally and she comes to Limes too! The program reaches out to less-privileged children so we get to play with amazing kids for two hours on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday each week. You can read more about the program here on the SO website, which I manage so you should take look!
We do all sorts of fun things with the kids. Here are just a few of our past activities with some Limes terms thrown in for fun.
- Coloring (with "de KAY-rons")
- Soccer ("Football" in the "pasture")
- Jump rope ("Skipping rope")
- Making crafts such as music makers and necklaces
- Water games and Scavenger Hunt (Nicci's genius ideas)
- Cheerleading with homemade pom-poms and everything! (organized by Taylor and Katie G)
- Piggy-back rides (Being a "Jockey")
- Dancing and singing (SO cute)
- Lots and lots of hugs ("squeezes" according to Kyla) - this counts as an activity right?
Here are some photos from the past six weeks (some were taken by Laura and Julie).

ReplyDeleteGood morning how are you?
ReplyDeleteMy name is Emilio, I am a Spanish boy and I live in a town near to Madrid. I am a very interested person in knowing things so different as the culture, the way of life of the inhabitants of our planet, the fauna, the flora, and the landscapes of all the countries of the world etc. in summary, I am a person that enjoys traveling, learning and respecting people's diversity from all over the world.
I would love to travel and meet in person all the aspects above mentioned, but unfortunately as this is very expensive and my purchasing power is quite small, so I devised a way to travel with the imagination in every corner of our planet. A few years ago I started a collection of used stamps because trough them, you can see pictures about fauna, flora, monuments, landscapes etc. from all the countries. As every day is more and more difficult to get stamps, some years ago I started a new collection in order to get traditional letters addressed to me in which my goal was to get at least 1 letter from each country in the world. This modest goal is feasible to reach in the most part of countries, but unfortunately it’s impossible to achieve in other various territories for several reasons, either because they are countries at war, either because they are countries with extreme poverty or because for whatever reason the postal system is not functioning properly.
For all this I would ask you one small favor:
Would you be so kind as to send me a letter by traditional mail from Grenada? I understand perfectly that you think that your blog is not the appropriate place to ask this, and even, is very probably that you ignore my letter, but I would call your attention to the difficulty involved in getting a letter from that country, and also I don’t know anyone neither where to write in Grenada in order to increase my collection. a letter for me is like a little souvenir, like if I have had visited that territory with my imagination and at same time, the arrival of the letters from a country is a sign of peace and normality and an original way to promote a country in the world. My postal address is the following one:
Emilio Fernandez Esteban
Avenida Juan de la Cierva, 44
28902 Getafe (Madrid)
Spain
If you wish, you can visit my blog www.cartasenmibuzon.blogspot.com where you can see the pictures of all the letters that I have received from whole World.
Finally I would like to thank the attention given to this letter, and whether you can help me or not, I send my best wishes for peace, health and happiness for you, your family and all your dear beings.
Yours Sincerely
Emilio Fernandez
