Week in the D.R.

I feel like it was a very successful week for Makarios. Plans are being made to start some after school programs in Negro Melo and Severe. I want to incorporate some learning games and fun activities for each of these sites. These activities will probably be one day a week for each grade in each site and they will last 30 minutes to an hour. For example 1st and 2nd grade will do the activities on Monday, then 3rd and 4th the following days. It will be a good opportunity for the kids to get some hands on education because of finances most schools have no other for of teaching than lecture. I believe these programs will encourage children to have fun and see the connect with their education.
Also a tropical storm hit the area for late Thursday night into Friday morning. The winds were strong and did cause some damage. Schools are canceled until Monday, and possibly later as some of the school roads have been washed out.
