Talking "Trash"







The Saturday morning reading group received a special visit from Environmentalist-Artist-Poet and long time resident of Santiago Atitlan, Violeta Luz Foregger. Violeta has been working on the creation of a children's story, Berta Basura, about a local girl who takes a journey to discover the impacts of trash on her community. Violeta visited our center yesterday to share the tale Berta Basura with our youth who will be participating in illustrating the story.

Miss Bonnie complemented that activity with an exploration of English words in nature.

We are so grateful for the help of our volunteers at La Puerta Abierta.
