It's been a while...

It has been quite a while since this blog has been updated, but I (Katie) hope to now try to keep it up to date with at least a monthly post. Thank you to all of you who are supporting the school in Mata Gorda through prayers, support, or child sponsorship. I hope that this blog will be useful in helping you feel more connected to us here in the DR.

This new year brought with it some changes. Johanna, who has been working in Mata Gorda for several years, recently has begun a new preschool in another community here in Jarabacoa. That move left a spot for a new teacher to come in. Katie Lombard (that's me) is now teaching the kindergarden/1st grade class in Mata Gorda. Alberto De Los Santos is still teaching the preschool class.



Profesora Kati - born and raised in California. Graduated from Cuesta College with AA in Early Childhood Education






















Profesor Alberto - born and raised in Jarabacoa. Currently in the University studying Education and Modern Languages









In the months to come, I will try to profile each child in our school to help you get to know them a little better, and keep you up to date on special events taking place at the school in Mata Gorda.

Thank you for your interest and support! God Bless!!
