Here he is today~ Volunteering and teaching at Mundo Lindo.

We had a full class, some painting their clay from last week, and some, who just started today, were working in clay.

Amy was at a meeting, and I was on my own. With Leo.

While I helped the one group with painting, Leo taught 8 kids to make pinch pots, coil and slab. Completely on his own.

I don't think I could be any prouder. Thank you Leo.

Full circle moment! Teaching and then watching the student become the teacher. Congratulations!

What a great testament to the power of this program! I'm sure it was extremely gratifying to watch it come full circle!
