Luis Manuel and Brittany

Luis Manuel!

Luis Manuel is very soft spoken and a calm presence in an often crazy room full of kids. He’s responsible for his younger sister Britanny and you can tell he’s protective of her, walking her to the club on girls’ days. He may not say much, but you can feel the love when he hugs you hello or goodbye.

Wow!

What a summer we've had around here. We're spending more and more time in the club with the kids and they are certainly loving every minute of it! We've gone to opening the club 5 days a week and offering all sorts of new classes. We're so excited with the newest classes that we're offering, and the kids couldn't be more excited. We have more teachers, more topics, and more and more volunteers coming to visit us from all over. We're loving the summer season!
Here is a picture of Luis Manuel, just hanging out in the club one day. We love summer around here - happy seasons to you and yours!

Hola!
Wow! What a summer it's been, and we're only halfway into it. We can't believe how fast the time is going but we're loving spending so much time with the kids and being able to see them as often as we do. With the addition of classes, teachers and so many volunteers coming from all over we certainly are busy, but we're loving every minute of it! Here is a picture of Brittany after finishing a class at the club on day. She was just hanging out, having a great time! We love summer! :)

Halloween

Dove was able to get a huge donation of Halloween costumes and threw a giant party for the kids on the afternoon of Halloween, during Saturday Boys and Girls Club. The kids, as you can see, had a blast! Brittany is pictured with her friend Erica, and then with her friends Lorani and Alani.

Their House

2009-08-13T13:31:00.001-07:00

Their house is right on the water of Playa Oeste. The area that makes up their front yard is right along the beach. It is covered in garbage and waste. The water is filthy and this is where many of the kids swim and play. It is a breeding ground for disease.
