...I Got All Proud

On Wednesday me, Katie and Anna took 5 of the boys that participate (although we were exhibiting 6 participants´ photos) in me and Katie´s photography club at the home to Santiago.  Some of their photos are being exhibited along with those from photography clubs at 2 other Coanil institutions.

Here are the photos that we chose to exhibit:

 It was really sweet and the boys were so proud to have their pictures on display.  María José, the volunteer coordinator for Coanil, said a few words, as did some of the volunteers who run one of the other workshops.  Then all the participants were handed out certificates reconising their achievements, which was a really nice touch.

Here are our boys with their photos and their certificates:

It all went very well and it was a well needed distraction from the atmosphere that is still hanging around the home and school since Belen´s death.

And I should add that we went ourselves, SIN TÍAS!  This wasn´t exactly planned, but it was nice to have the trust put in us to take some of the people we work with out into the big bad world for an hour or so!

Hope you are all well. xx
