A Farewell To Mr. Todd

Next week is the last one here at the center for our Mr. Todd. Todd has been our Middle & High School Coordinator for the last year. He is moving on to further his education and we wish him the best of luck!

We asked some of his students what they liked most about Mr. Todd and here is what they said...

"He is a really cool person and his is really nice!!! I hate the fact that he is leaving!!!" NADIRES

"He helps me with my homework and he is cool." RAHO

"He is caring." NAJMO

"He lets us check our email." FATUMA

"He is silly and funny. Thank you for everything, you are the best." YUSSUF

"He helps me everyday with my homework." AYAN

"He let me open an email account." LULAY

"He doesn't get mad easily." JIHAN

Where Are They Now? MONICA

This week we are catching up with Monica Bhatt, a very faithful volunteer over the years!

From Monica:

I volunteered at CWA-Cayce on and off between 2003 - 2007 working with the high school kids in the after school program. Now I am teaching at a public high school in Madrid, Spain on a Fulbright Scholarship. I've attached a picture of me while visiting Toledo, a medieval city just Southwest of Madrid.

Puppet Show!

This week our elementary students created sock puppets! Once they made their puppet, they developed them into characters of a play and performed for the group yesterday!

Here is a short video of one of their plays! This is Makka and Hawo's play!
