CHRISTMAS MOVIE PRESENTATIONS TOUR STARTED

 

Students from the Jacob Bilingual Institute watched the Red Boots movie for Christmas with great enthusiasm. We complement the teaching with drawings and talk about the importance of sharing with other children who are in a situation of need. The children, in high spirits, pledged to give their gift on Christmas welfare tours. For Teacher Maritza Méndez, “It is very emotional to see this new generation see this beautiful film that has been such a blessing to previous generations. The Christian message that this film brings to children is powerful.”
