La Aldea Infantil: A running trail!


Benjamin (red shirt) was the hardest worker with the shovel!

Katy, an intern at La Aldea Infantil, got a running trail started on the inside walls of the Aldea! Don't forget to check out the video at the end of this post :)

Read her story:

What a week at the Aldea! I began construction of a running/walking trail around the inside perimeter of the site and had some help from some of the kids. We tried out new portions of the trail by running and skipping and making animal noises haha. We are wearing it in! This is a part of a goal to increase the physical activity and health of the children at the Aldea. Many have been quite excited to run and get moving! I was so excited today because the kids have no school and they totally wanted to help make the trail and chip in. I was so impressed with how hard they worked and with their sharing and helping each other and how creative they got with adding plant clippings along the sides!
