Well, we are a month into the school schedule, so life at the Home has adjusted back to kids coming and going from school every day. With the majority of our kids behind in their education due to the inconsistency or lack of schooling before they came to us, it is good to see kids already moving up grade levels as they can get caught up with the flexible curriculum at the Cuatro Christian School.
Construction on the dining room/nursery addition progresses every day - we are excited to see it take shape and look forward to it being nearly completed.
We have had a great group of volunteers from various places working with the kids all summer. Between the school and the home, this has been really helpful in providing extra attention to the kids. This also gives the staff a break at times, which is appreciated.
With the reconciliation of a few kids back to family in recent months, we have seen some go, but are still always ready to accept more kids into the home. Our social workers are well-connected, and it seems likely that we will be welcoming in more children soon, whenever the right referral comes along.
