Soccer Tournament for II Bach (Senior Class)




I'm (Lori) the "maestra de guia" (otherwise what would be the guidance counselor for the Senior class this year. They are going on a class trip the first weekend of September (well, I guess that means we're going too). We're taking them to the North Coast to stay at a hotel there, take them to the mall (a first for many of them), going to a natural waterfall, ziplining, hiking, and much more. We will do all this in a little over three days. How will we fit it all in? The boys are raising funds to do all this. We're holding soccer tournaments for area schools here at El Sembrador and having food sales during the tournaments. The boys are helping make all the food and then sell it. They're doing a great job so far. I'm so proud of them and their hard work. Once these boys have a goal, there is no stopping them!

Agricultural Mechanics Class





Travis wanted to do something special for the Agricultural Mechanics teach and his class for all the extra hours they put into fixing broken down equipment. They even worked during many of their break times and after hours. We're happy to have our new mechanic here. He and the boys keep our equipment running smoothly. The boys seem to be learning so much with him as their teacher and really respect him for both his hard work ethic and Christian character. We're thankful for our good employees.

Mother's Day




Mother's Day is always special at El Sembrador. I love to be "mom" to all these boys on campus. We had a great turn out of Mom's and families this year. We had a great service in the church and the boys were able to give each of their Mother's a gift. A great drama was presented with King Soloman deciding which was the true mother of the baby. We had a meal following with 200+ people for a chicken & rice meal. GREAT MOTHER'S DAY here!
