Hello Everyone!
As a couple of people have already mentioned, soccer with the kids today was total hit! When we first arrived at the field there was no one in sight and the sing that had been made had fallen. We waited for a while to see if any one would show up and then seeing as to how no one was really coming I decided to call up one of the ladies I had worked with during MANO. I asked her if she wanted to bring her kids to the field since we were there, and from there on everything else just seemed to fall into place. Two other ladies also brought their kids outside to play after seeing more kids getting involved. While the kids we busy "kicking our butts", the mothers were sitting under the shade of a tree talking with Professor Blau and some of the other students. I'd say, it was a good way to end the second summer session but wished there could have been more soccer days like this one for the kids to enjoy. Well, there's always next semester!
Since I was able to talk to the ladies that brought their kids out to play as well as Professor Blau, I was also able create two more last MANO sessions before the end of summer school. We will be using the Center for these last days and hold the classes around regular MANO times (6pm) with tomorrow being an exception where the lessons will most likely be before class (around 4:30pm). As I've mentioned before, this will be the last MANO sesssion for them until it resumes normally in September, so they are very greatful for the help we're offering. Hope to see some of you there!
