Written by Joy- Today they are still hard at work serving the people and children of Guatemala. Lydia had a few Carebears donated from a stranger who found out what she was doing. Today she decided to give them to Anselmo. He has eight children at home and he walks and takes public transportation for two hours to get to work every day.
Lydia was told before she went she needed to prepare something to teach. She came up with the idea to teach Chinese jump rope. This is a great activity because it can be done inside or outside. It can involve a 1 child or several. It also teaches coordination, skip counting, team work/ cooperation, and cultural awareness. The equipment is light weight and easy to take with her. Before she left we were able to have enough elastic donated to make 5 jump ropes and we purchased 5 more. Today I received a picture of some children playing with her jump ropes.
