A New Term

The academic year starts next week the 2nd of March. This will also be the date that Conviven will be re opening its doors to offer free English classes to the local community. We mostly have small groups of children aged 5 to 14. We will need enthusiastic motivated volunteers to teach these lovely children. If you are interested in helping please e mail us at-

classes will be on mOnday, Wednesday and Thursdays 3 -6 pm.

Feliz Año Nuevo!!!

End of school Year.

In December we put together a small end of year party for the children and their parents. All the children who took part in the English course where given a certificate according to the level they had achieved. We then had a small fire throwing show by one of the volunteers, John, followed by a circus performance by some of the children. We had music and games and where happy that so many of the parents where also able to attend. The children where all given Christmas hats and their bellies filled full of foods. The volunteers also celebrated a job well down with a glass of sparkle on our own terrace.
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL THE CHILDREN THEIR PARENTS ALL THE VOLUNTEERS AND FRIENDS OF CONVIVEN.

FELIZ NAVIDAD Y BUENO ANO NUEVO A TODOS LOS AMIGOS DE CONVIVEN.

THANKS FOR THIS YEAR 2008!

Tarde de cine en Conviven

El sábado sabado 15 de noviembre de las 15h hasta las 18h30 se llevó a cabo la tarde de cine en el Centro Conviven. Contó con la participación de aproximadamente 30 personas: madres, adolecentes y sobre todo chicos y niños.

Primero se mostró "Indiana Jones y la Calavera de Cristal", uno de los últimos estrenos del cine. Según los voluntarios a cargo también iba a marcar el el fin de la proyección. Pero por el entusiasmo de los niños lo reconsideraron. Con el permiso de los padres y trás una votación unívoca entre los chicos se proyectó la película de los "Simpson" no proyectada en primer lugar por no ser reciente y ya famosísima.

Al final todos se fueron felices (pero cansados) a sus casas y se llevaron los recuerdos de una linda Tarde de cine en Conviven.
