AUGUST OF THE HOSPITALITY
In August, we were joined in the activities by Guillaume from England and Melissa from Germany.
Club de Niños learned of hospitality, through the stories and activities they learned The Humanity Rainbow, the children of the world, their rights, the causes and consequences of the migration, and they discovered Human Values such as tolerance, empathy and brotherhood that explained hospitality.
The books we read were Derek Munson’s «Pastel para enemigos (Enemy Pie),» «Ígor el pájaro que no sabía cantar (Igor the Bird Who Did Not Sing)» by Satoshi Katamura, «Los días raros (The Rare Days)» by Maria Fernanda Heredia, » La vida sin Santi (Life without Santi)» by Andrea Maturana, «La partida del soldado (The soldier departure)»of Javier de Isusi, and «La peor señora del mundo (The worst lady of the world)»of Francisco Hinojosa.
Also, the children prepared the puppet show, “La peor señora del mundo (The worst lady of the world)», which was a resounding success in the monthly event «Érase una vez (Once upon a time)».
In «Cuentos en la Plaza – Mobile Libraries», we explored humor, tolerance and empathy. In our pink suitcase, were the books «Fernando el furioso (Fernando the furious)», a child who destroys the entire planet in a tantrum when he loses control of his temper. The children then helped Fernando to rebuild the world. The book «Pastel para enemigos (Enemy Pie)», taught us to resolve conflicts in a positive way. Another title that we read was «Hipopótamo peleón (Big Bully Hippo)», a story that deals with importance of good manners and cordiality. Our puppet show was “La peor señora del mundo (The worst lady of the world)», a story that illustrates a lesson on the importance of living together in harmony. We visited Ludoteca Nueva Esperanza in San Vicente, Pío Montufar Refuge in Bahía de Caráquez, Gabriela Mistral School in Tabuchila, the Ricardo Abad Solórzano School, Juntos Venceremos Special school and 30 de Mazo Neighborhood in Chone.
