El Bichito: Finger knitting

October 28
By Sunny Hicken

We continue to be as busy as can be here at El Bichito. Everybody’s minds and fingers have been busy as after each child completed homework, they could choose a ball of yarn and learn to finger knit. It was hard at first, but the kids caught on and started helping each other out. These kids love crafts. Our jewelry volunteer, Senora Tely, came again this Tuesday and brought all the materials for the kids to make bracelets. Later in the week we started making Math Machines—we’ll show some pictures of those next week as we finish them up.





We were able to have a few more house visits this week. I love getting to know these families better. Ana Maria and her brother Junior live just down the street, and Rodrigo and Nelida’s houses are close as well. I love having not only the kids now call my name when we walk through town, but the moms as well.
