Welcome to our first newsletter about the achievements and daily life at the Sacuanjoche Waldorf Kindergarten in Granada Nicaragua.

The kindergarten has now been open for more than five months, and much has been achieved thanks to deeply engaged people; parents, teachers and friends of the school. We have also received many appreciated physical and financial donations. We are very grateful for all the help and support that we have received to allow us to carry through this project.

We are now a group of 12 children with hopefully more children to begin soon. We possess an even mixture of boys to girls, older children to young ones and Nicaraguans to foreign children so that the team of children works well together, helping each other through their development. After our first long vacation for Christmas, the children slipped back into the rhythm with much joy and creativity. Their voices were rhythmic with familiar songs from the previous year and their hands were busy creating new paintings, clay statues, new baking recipes and our lunch times were filled with laughter and stories. They still sing songs from the Lantern party we celebrated in November, as well as from the Christmas play in December. The sewing group was busy preparing the costumes, for shepards and angels and has now taken up the challenge of making dolls.
