Beginning of Classes 2016

Classes have begun at Steps of Hope. There are many returning students as well as new. English continues with a mix of review for the students who are coming back, and the new ones so they can catch up! Ana continues with her groups of younger children, and Lester has been a blessing as he is tutoring some students in higher level math!

There has also been an addition of students who have come for tutoring from the Special Education School, called Nueva Vida. There have also been English classes added for those students as well, who may have a disability of struggle with learning. They are such beautiful students, and I am pleased to have them!

 

 

 

 

 

 

A Bittersweet Goodbye

It is a bittersweet time as Jesica, who has worked with me since August, is leaving to take a new job as Director of the Women's Office at the municipality! It is a wonderful opportunity, and she will do very well and is excited to make changes.


As God always has a plan, Lester, Jesica's brother will take over some of her classes and will begin new tutoring higher level math. Please pray for these transitions, and classes as they have begun this week! More photos to come!

School Supplies 2016

These are the students who are sponsored in their classes and are getting ready to begin the 2016 school year! Pray God's provision over each one of them as they begin.

 

 

Samuel said that he is ready to start this school year in his new school.

 

 

Fernando is Samuel's brother. His Mom explained that he was beginning in a new school also, in what is called Primero Basico (like middle school) and wasn't going to be able to go because she could not afford his supplies. He is a very polite and hard working student.

 

 

David has grown in the past few months! He is also excited to begin his school year.

 

 

Melisa is well known at CUMC for her kind spirit and determination. She is also extremely intelligent. Melisa's Mom has been sick for the past few months and through prayers and the support of CUMC through Doctor's visits and medicine, she is doing much better.

 

 

Maria and Daniel are from Steps of Hope in Santa Maria. Maria took 10 days of classes in 2015 but had to drop out. So this is their first year going to school! Pray that these school supplies encourage them in their classes and that they enjoy learning and their parents are encouraged to send them each day.
