if you are still checking in on this blog...congratulations! your waiting has finally paid off!

The kids a Centro Especial Genesis are doing well! We are finishing up the summer and the kids were asking this morning "y los americanos" loosely translated, "where are the americans?". They love having students from the teams and enjoy learning from them and teaching them as well. Pray for this final outreach to go well. Pray that as we send the kids out for their "summer" vacation that they are safe and well cared for.

We are finishing evaluations on the last few kids. This spring/summer, we have been working hard to evaluate each child, using a global developmental assessment. Those are really big words that basically mean we are looking at each child and how well they do in a lot of different areas. While the kids are on vacation, Fausto and Amy will be writing individual plans for each child for the coming year. We are excited to have a better idea of the kids' true abilities along with the tools to help our teachers improve their abilities to meet each child's special needs!

Stay tuned for photos of kids with their new teachers and classrooms once we start back in the fall!!!
