Thanks for your ongoing wonderful support and encouragement!
2015 continues to be very productive, educational and joyous for the students of EEE! Aside from regular classroom learning activities, the school continued with professional Mexican Sign Language classes conducted by Laura Navarro Tejeda, professional sign language interpreter from Universidad Politécnica de Querétaro, as well as with internet conferencing with Professor Tricia Wilmore from Flagler College, St Augustine, Florida and with our newest sign language instructor Ernesto Escobedo Delgado of Mexico City.
The Vocational Training Program continues to flourish with some excellent volunteer support from various skilled craftsman and instructors. The vocational programs focus on sewing, carpentry, silversmithing/jewelry and cooking. The older students are becoming very proficient in many of these areas and we can hardly wait to introduce for sale many of the crafts that they have designed and made by with their own hands.
The students and faculty are now on summer vacation after celebrating 2014/2015 graduation ceremonies on July 3rd. This year's event was a big success with all of our students progressing into new levels and with two of our students, Laura and Juan, graduating from middle school. Your generous contributions through Global Giving have made this possible. We hope that you enjoy viewing some of the smiling faces of students at the graduation event and will have a moment to view others at: https://www.flickr.com/gp/ronfel/0258H2 .
The new school year begins on August 22nd, and we can hardly wait!
