Casa La Vida Sunset Club Recap



On January 15th, many gathered at the incredible home of Ken and Teri Lebow! Sunset magic along with the sound of waves and a musical duo. There was a fabulous wine tasting, from the vintners of Tres Raices. The wine, loved by all, is available at Cava! Appetizers, fabulous pizza (thanks to Mi Jardin) and salad. What on incredible night! Thank you Ken and Teri! We are so fortunate to have generous donor hosts, who provide these experiences. Thank you to all who attended as well!

  

We are very excited about our next “Sunset Club” held at the incredible property of our famous artist and friend, Meta Maricarmen Hernandez! The party will be held on Wednesday, February 15th from 6:00-8:00. It will be full of surprises and you will not want to miss it! Watch for details on the Las Hermanas WhatsApp and in an email that will be sent to all very soon. We will also have a payment option available on the Las Hermanas website soon. Donation will be $40 USD, or 800 pesos..



   These Sunset Club parties have a variety of styles for these parties. Simple to elegant, the gift is the same, fun in seeing others' homes, and most importantly enjoying the community of people from Troncones and Majahua who support Las Hermanas and the children who live here. See you soon!


Regards,

Denise “Victoria"

January Student of the Month

Elisa Villanueva Pacheco is a very sweet and well-educated girl. She is 9 years old and has a great imagination. Her favorite hobby is drawing and coloring cartoon characters like Winnie the Pooh. She also enjoys spending time at the pool and at her grandparents' house. She always treats the people around her with respect. She is very loved by all of her classmates. Everyone wants to be Elisa's friend!


She has a calm and relaxed character and is always willing to help others. She is currently in 4th grade at Troncones Elementary School and is one of the best students in her class. She is good at math and is excellent at analyzing the readings and topics taught in class. She is very responsible with her homework.


This time, Elisa is the student of the month in the English class because she has made an effort to learn new words and phrases, she attends punctually and is always ready to take notes and do the exercises. She understands the importance of participating and asking questions in order to learn more.

She also likes to practice what she has learned at the Las Hermanas school and in her daily life when she talks with her classmates in the classroom and with her family. She wants to learn more so she can travel the world and be bilingual. She would love to get to know the United States and Canada: their traditions, their culture, their history, their people, etc.


She is already thinking about getting her passport and visa to have everything ready when she grows up.
