We have come to the end of the first semester for this school year in Brazilian schools and we would like to share our successes with all of our supporters.
Our team of 8 youth monitors have been working hard offering puppet theatre, story-telling and reading mediation sessions during the regular school day at 4 partner elementary schools in our neighbourhood. We were negatively affected by a teachers strike, system wide teachers training during term time and also schools closing during the World Cup! From this litany, you can imagine how important it is that we are working hard to improve the education that our children receive in Eldorado.
Notwithstanding the challenges, we successfully worked regularly with all 2935 children matriculated at the schools who, on average received almost 4 sessions each over this period. In addition, our young people took these activities into other areas of the community holding events twice a month to attract more new young readers.
Our young people are now using the school holidays to do training and also prepare new puppet theatre for the second semester.
