The much anticipated September 17th came and with it, a lot of joy, because our Middle School Program launched! We had a successful registration night a few weeks ago with 15 families in attendance. When I spoke to some of the students, the common statement was, “When are we starting the program?! I want it to start already!” I’m very thankful for the people who have shown interest in volunteering at our program. It’s wonderful to see so many different people who desire to work with Casa Chiri. It’s too early to tell, but I feel the need for consistent volunteers will be a big need so please share this request with others. If you are interested in volunteering for our Middle School Program, please email me at adriana@casachirilagua.org. This is going to be one great school year! Come alongside us for the adventure!
