Family Outreach

Volunteering  with my schools Family Outreach  program the newest family we will be welcoming into our school community is a family from Bolivia.  Not knowing much about Bolivia it will be necessary for me to do some home work.  I learn that the Spanish id on of four languages spoken there which is what the family speaks. Although there are many dialects of the Spanish language fortunately I am able to communicate in Spanish with some assistants.  The dominant religion is roman Catholic, which is what the family practices.  Bolivia is one of the least developed countries in South America.  Leaving it necessary for both parents and the young children the reasonability to work in order to sustain the family.  A few of the steps I have taking to help the family feel welcomed.

I locate and visit a Spanish market.  With hope that it will have some of the food the family is familiar with.

I vist a neighborhood Catholic church.  Picking up information about hours of services and when the Spanish speaking service is held.

On one of my visit to the library I look at the children section and find a selections of books, movie video's and Cd's in Spanish that the whole family can enjoy.

I decide to make welcome backpack for the children.  Including coloring picture with Spanish titles I printed  form the computer.
