Lots to report to you this month! Senor Julio sent me a detailed letter (for those who read Spanish, see end of this text) and here are the highlights.

The news that really stands out is the trip to Cali, Columbia by three of the Q’ewar women: Nidia, Nancy and Zoila (sister of Senor Julio). This trip was to participate in the first block of studies for Waldorf Education preschool teachers. Participants study from the 13th of July to the 15th of August. The funding for transportation and course fees came from the continued and much appreciated support of Senora Heidi in Switzerland and the Q’ewar Project itself.

With the building work on the new schoolhouse for Wawa Munakuy in the last stages (SEE the new photos on the Education page ), the Waldorf training is essential. Laying the wood floors; plastering and painting the adobe walls; and putting in the bathrooms and kitchens on the two floors are the finishing touches the construction workers are concentrating on now.

Q’ewar continues to have new visitors and return visits from friends around the world. For the third year in a row, 10 students and 2 teachers (Senora Julia and Senor Yezid) from the Great Barrington Rudolf Steiner School in Massachusetts came in April, bringing donations of clothing, games and educational material. They see old friends and help out where they can.
