Big
party for the kids of nearby communities of San Juan de
los Jarros and San Marcos Tlazalpan. Past April 26th we
celebrated “Kids Day” to 58 children of these
communities. A total of 87 people
attended this event, of those 58 kids, 8 parents, 17 volunteers
from CVC Atlacomulco and 4 volunteers from CVC Xola. We
started with all the preparations very early. Undoubtedly
a very expected day for all kids, since most of them never
had the chance to have a party of this nature.
A
group of volunteers borrowed their cars and vans to pick
up the kids from their own communities and bring them
to the Theatre in Atlacomulco. At the arrival, their
little faces showed big surprise, because many of them,
including their moms, have never seen a cinema. At this
point we couldn’t miss the chance to talk to them
about order, discipline and the clean they had to be
throughout all the activities planed for the day, reflecting
in a practical way everything we had taught them month
by month..
When
the movie was over, we drove them to the amusement park “Las
Fuentes” where they had fun playing and refreshing
in the pools, under the strict watch and care of every
volunteer. After a few hours of play we showered them,
and mean while encouraged them to be more careful in
their personal hygene.
In
order and joy, we shared food we made with love. Later
on, we had group dynamics for integration, fun and socialization,
since they are from two different communities. It
was very satisfactory to see their faces all smiles in
every activity we had, as well as to see their surprise
faces when we raffled toys they never imagine to have.
All toys were a gift from our brothers of CVC Xola.
At
the end of the day, we prayed with and for the kids,
highlighting that every little show of love was motivated
for our God, which fulfills us with his love to share.
In this mood, we drove them back to their communities.
