Thanksgiving at Education Plus

November 27, 2012 | 1 comment

Education Plus Nicaragua, Nicaragua

Even though Nicaraguan's do not celebrate Thanksgiving, an American donor decided that it would still be a fun thing to celebrate and teach the kids about the concept of Thanksgiving in general.  We were able to fill a pinata with candy and coins (including some leftover halloween candy from another American donor) and purchase 17 pizzas for the kids, courtesy of our donor.  The kids had a blast, and for most it was the first time they had ever tried pizza (a luxury for people of the barrio)!  We offer a big thanks to our donor for a fabulously fun day.  It is events like this that bring an extra sparkle into our children's lives....

November 17, 2012

Educational Support Tibet, India

 One of my favorite things about KCS is the learning that takes place not only in the classroom, but also in the course of everyday living.

Our studies are part and parcel of this.While going to the spring in the morning, for example, we'll often meet a few of our students walking along the road as they read their books; it's a beautiful thing to see people reading, especially...
