National Initial Education Week (Carrie from Aldea Infantile)

The other volunteers and I joined the kindergardeners for marches through the Plaza de Armas of nearby cities for National Initial Education Week.

How super cute to see these 4 year olds carrying signs that say “I like waking up for jardin!” “To be a child is to be marvelous.” “Listen to me, I’m important.” “Small people of the future.” We had journalists and photographers come and take pictures of the march and even some important person speak (though I wasn’t paying much attention—I was chasing kids and making sure they didn’t hit each other with their picket signs). I love seeing everyone, right down to our little huddle of 4 year olds, take their education so seriously and love it.
