Aldea Infantil: Goals & push-ups

By: Justin Schow, an intern at La Aldea Infantil:

July 15
This past week at the Aldea was pretty eventful! Things started off on Monday when we sat down with some of the older boys to talk a little about interests and setting goals for the future. Juan Carlos, the oldest boy said he was interested in mechanics. Another boy named Victor was interested in writing music. There were a lot of ideas discussed and it was great to see that they had a desire to work to achieve goals for the future. 
In an attempt to show them the importance of constantly working hard to achieve goals, we had a friendly push-up competition. Juan Carlos beat us all! Afterwards we discussed the big picture: if we make an effort every day to improve ourselves, we would find that the limits to what we can achieve in life are practically endless. In this case, one of us would at least be able to beat Juan Carlos in a push-up contest someday.
