Photographs by Lois and Don Porter 3/9/2007 |
We have been volunteering two afternoons a week at the Hogar Tata Juan de Dios, an orphanage here in Sucre. We help the teacher (Nilda) and the staff work with the kids (some 21 2- to 5-year olds). Lois brought along her elephant trunk, planning ahead for such activities. The elephant trunk and the "Un Elefante" song are a big hit with the kids. These are some photos of Lois and the kids having fun with the song (see below for the lyrics). Lois made a poster from the photos to share with the class - that's the first one in this collection.
