A big stage and an excited crowd waits for the 100 students of the Education Programa to perform the end-of-year acts that they prepared with a lot of enthusiasm during the last months of 2016.
The music starts and the girls and boys of 1st and 2nd grade group stand on the stage with funny and colourful costumes chosen by them during their Theatre lessons with "seño Pili" (as they call drama teacher Pilar). With the help of their teacher they give an outstanding circus show in which they share dances, singing, actings and hidden talents. It is a great spectacle!
Next, it's movies time! The 3rd and 4th grade students present a series of short films they shooted during the year with their tutor, Matías. They even try some special effects! The public (formed by the student families) loves it and they receive a huge applause.
Now it's time for some dancing. The girls of 5th, 6th and 7th grade present a coreography that they prepared together and rehersed during the Theatre Workshop. Then it's the boys turn. They surprise the big crowd with a great coreography as well.
Apart from the performances, each class exposes stories, paintings, arts and crafts that they created during the year at the Arts, Literature and Theatre Workshops. The children share with their families and with the tutors the happiness of showing what they worked on during the year.
It is the first year the Education Programa implements recreational workshops and it has been a great adventure and a great place for the students to express and find theirselves learning new ways of expression, discovering new talents and sharing it all with their classmates.
We end 2016 with a very positive impact and very motivated to start a new year of the Education Program to encourage comprehensive and quality education for 100 kids from Villa 21-24 in the City of Buenos Aires.
Thank you to all our donors for making it possible!!
