In June and July, our English teachers bid goodbye to our sixth grade students, who will be beginning middle school in the fall. Our team members were able to attend some of the school clausuras (graduation ceremonies) to congratulate their students on their accomplishments and wish them the best of luck in the future educational endeavors.
THANK YOU to our volunteers!
Last week, our three amazing volunteers completed their year of service with the ?! Careyes Foundation. Christina Buckner, Devra Traiman, and Preethi Raja arrived in Careyes last August to spend the school year with us. Since then, these volunteers all worked tirelessly to make our programs possible and were critical to the success of our team.
