July 2007: Community Construction Project
of Casa Margarita |
Casa Margarita is dedicated to my grandmother,
Margaret Lyman Langsdorf, who loved children and stories.
My grandmother was always very supportive of the children's
library I started in Pueblo Nuevo. She would be delighted
to know that this community came together once again
to work for the benefit of our children. Neighbors of
all ages worked together to build this new center for
young library-goers. |

Summer 2007: Service-Learning Experience for Teens (Album coming soon) |
Two
teens, Emmeliese and Jessica, stayed on in Pueblo
Nuevo for an extra 2 weeks to volunteer in the library
and spend more time with their new Nicaraguan friends.
They helped out in the preschool and organized arts and
crafts classes in the library. They became well loved
by the community during their time there. |
