Every year all the students of Pilares' Education Program prepare a special show where they show to their families what they've learned during the year with their tutors and at the recreational workshops.
This year has been super special because, thanks to the support we receive from different donors and institutions that collaborate with Pilares, we were able to add an English workshop for the 100 children that participate at the program.
Learning a second language means more opportunities for their future as well as a stimulating activity for their minds and their capability to learn new things.
So the end of year show was the moment to express this new knowledges.
1st and 2nd graders sang and danced to the rythm of head, shoulders, knees and toes since during the year they learned about the human body. The 3rd and 4th grade students prepared a song about the colors of the rainbow. 5th and 6th sang and played the drums (fabricated by themselves) to the rythm of Queen's We Will Rock You. Finally, 7th grade students shared how Micheal Jackson's Thriller is danced in Villa 21-24.
It was a great celebration where each student had the chance to share what they learnt with their family, tutors and volunteers that accompany them during the year.
Thank you for supporting this project which not only helps 100 children with their academic development, but also encourages them to seek the best for the future and respect who they are.
