In februari I was in Guatemala to visit the new preschool. 7 houses in the colours of the rainbow - not only the 42 children who attend the school feel very happy.
I joined classes and I feel deeply impressed by the motivation and concentration of the kids and the tranquility that is so typical for Montessori teaching. The teachers are doing a great job there.
The playground and some furniture are still missing. Thanks to Ignatius Gymnasium Amsterdam these projects can be realized in the course of this year.
A big hug to all of you,
Beate
PS: In May 2012 I will continue my hike4education. I will keep you informed.
