Buenas Tardes a Todos!
All the children are doing well. Our semester meetings at school showed good grades all around with two children slightly behind. We are giving more help to them.
This week is flu shot week, when the health services department visits Dorcas House to vaccinate us all.
The school has a big celebration for Dia del Revolucion Mexicana. Our girls are going to present Folkloric Dancing!
December will be a busy month. On the 10ththe kids have a presentation at Lazar Cardenas High School at 9am followed by a 2pm Christmas Party with visits from Santa and guests from the Consulate. Then, on the 11th, Bishop Lino from Guadalajara will visit us. The bishop will baptize some of the children and celebrate communion. He will also bless Adilen on her 15 Aņos. After all of that we will have a Posada and the Bishop will have a chance to talk to the people from the micro-credit program.
The people who sponsor the kids' shoes and clothing this time of year will also have a chance to do something fun with the children.
And last, the pavement is all ready - and looks nice and safe. We need to do some painting and will talk to the group from the micro-credit program to see if they can help us with that.

Alternative Gifts Fair
Once again, St. Paul's is hosting an Alternative Gifts Fair where you can support a variety of more than worthwhile causes and do your Christmas shopping at the same time. As always, Dorcas House will be represented with a variety of lovely items - including the perennially popular notecards designed by the children.
The Alternative Gifts Fair is Sunday, November 20, 2011 at St. Paul's Cathedral in San Diego - or - December 04, 2011 at All Saints Pasadena.
Artists' Work and A Gala Reception
On September 24th, St. Paul's Cathedral hosted a gala exhibit of the childrens' art and writing: "I AM". The weather could not have been better for the reception in the Queen's Courtyard and the children's art, exhibited throughout the cathedral during October, was a blessing for everyone who was able to share in it.
