Aldea Infantil: Brett's first post

June 9
Hey! My name's Brett and this is my first blog post. This little guy here is Jose Angel, he's 4 year's old and he is absolutely adorable. In this picture we are help helping him to do his do his homework which consists of exercises like coloring within the lines and tracing along various patterns of dotted lines. We ended up having to help quite a few of these little guys do their homework, which was no small task. Getting four-year-olds to sit down and focus for an hour or more has never been an easy task. The kids were great though and in the end everything worked out after much convincing and reinforcement. The first week at the Aldea has been a lot like this experience with these little guys, what at first seems impossible suddenly becomes that much more manageable when you put your shoulder to the wheel and start working. Nothing here is particularly easy, but the chance to maybe change the course of a life here makes it worth all the while.
