The first page of our much loved, often read and freshly printed "jornalzinho" - little newspaper
So this Monday several kids came to ask me a whole bunch of questions about where I come from, why I work here and about my family. This went on until Thursday, when Roberta asked me if I could help her with her newspaper project. She told me that the kids (or a small group of them) where writing some articles about anything, really, that happened at the crèche (CCF) during these past months. I already loved the idea… So in Thursday Roberta and I were working to put together all the different articles to a real newspaper so that we could print it on Thursday night. It really was hard work (because we only had little time), but the kids put some stuff together…It was so funny to read some of the articles. Kids are so honest that sometimes we only notice it on paper. Some wrote: Mesa Brasil is an organization that donates all kinds of fruits and vegetables that sadly sometimes get here already rotten and unenjoyable. So Roberta really had to work on that… (=
But with a lot of effort (and much laughter) we got our work done Thursday night and could deliver the newspaper to the kids on Friday. It was a tremendous success…all the kids loved it and were pleased to see themselves (directly our indirectly) involved in the process of building a newspaper.
Everyone, in groups or alone, sat in a quiet place and literraly disappeared behind one of the "Jornalzinho"
From now on the “Informativo CCF” is supposed to be published every other month and who knows, maybe we’ll find a sponsor for this project who will supply the needed material to publish the newspaper in some churches and outside the CCF.
Other than that this week was pretty quiet (I’ll tell you about our trip to Paraguay next time…)…the usual, the computer classes, a crazy dog and our house keep us pretty busy and really take our (free) time…
Talk to you soon and you all take care!
