Another fabulous summer at Campamento Las Margaritas!
Our gratitude to Yolanda (Luli), Kelli, and Carmen for taking the leadership to run the camp this summer and to Gri, Felipe, and Gloria for their amazing help! We were incredibly pleased with the student leadership formed by Yeni, Thania, Desireth and Genesis! They were once campers who have transitioned into teachers!
This year we focused on the overarching theme of health. The students learned about the human body, emphasizing on the various organs. They learned about their function and how to take care of them. The students also engaged in deep discussions about organ donation (social and moral implications). We brought in two doctoras from the community to talk to the students about career choice, especially the importance of women in science.
Looking forward to next year!
