November 10th is "Action Day".
Today the Bridge of Hope used all those paper hands I've been cutting out for the last two weeks! Between the schools and community members of Noyemberyan, and by the help of an ambitious group of volunteering pre-teens, hundreds of these paper hands were hung on a banner in support of the handicapped. Wishes were written on the hands by all who came except those not old enough to write. The event took place in all the surrounding villages as well as in front of the park here, in Noyemberyan. A successful event, beautiful weather, music in the park... today was a good day.
Kindergarten #1 showed their support by participating! (How interesting it was to help move a group of 2-6 year olds down a path and across a street- it was terrifying actually.) Afterwards, our kindergarteners had a bit of time to relax in the park! At lunch, with our lentil soup, we were treated to some candy by the Bridge of Hope!
Today is one of those days I couldn't be happier to be where I am.
