CAICC week 3: puppets & storyboarding

Florrie and I had our second session with the Friday morning group at CAICC this week, and Kory came along with us again.  There are a few older lads in this group who drew up their storyboards about CAICC in this session and got started on their puppets.  Some of the younger kids from the Tuesday afternoon group also happened to be there and started to make props, like this brilliant plasticine and wire spider by René and these snakes, rings and heart shapes.

Alejandro got to know about CAICC 7 years ago through football.   He comes to CAICC to improve and to learn many things.  He likes the friends he has at CAICC and talking about girls and other things.   His hope for the future is to be a footballer and play in England.

 Deyvid got to know of CAICC through the prison 6 years ago.  He comes to CAICC to better himself and learn many things.   He likes everything that they do and learn at CAICC and the food.  He doesn't like those that behave badly with the little ones.  He hopes to study and be a professional, and loves hip hop.

 Limbar loves to play, he comes to CAICC every day and learns many things, the CAICC 'tias' (aunties - staff) are really great.   He likes to play and be happy because everything there is lovely, but he doesn't like to eat.  He wants to be a professional, perhaps a teacher or policeman, or something good.

Milton is a teenager who likes to dance.  He got to know CAICC accidentally when they passed by the prison and he saw the bus collecting the children and he realised it was a centre.  He comes to CAICC to play, enjoy himself, do his homework, go to the football pitch and other things.  He likes to play because there are children and teenagers and in his home it is boring.  He doesn't like the chores and sometimes the food.  He hopes that CAICC improves the food, that there are more girls and not to have to do chores.  He hopes to finish college and study industrial engineering and to live happily.

Rhilder has learnt to graffitti.  He comes to CACIC to receive a prize for being the best graffiti artist.  He loves the food that Maria cooks at CAICC.  He hopes to have a house with a car and swimming pool and a profession.

I absolutely love working with these kids, they are so full of warmth, energy and intelligence.  Each time when I leave there, however shattered from the intensity of the sessions, I come away with my heart full and a grin on my face! 

Thank you lovelies!
