Year-End Fiesta! Photos by EI Sponsor Darlene Hildebrandt To mark the end of the school year the younger EI kids and their tutors celebrated with a fiesta at the center December 4. The children enjoyed games, a piñata, and received recognition for their achievements throughout the year. EI Program Spotlight: Home Visits Home visits are one of the most innovative and unique aspects of the Empowerment International program. Each week, EI goes into the community and visits the children and their families. With the parents, EI reviews the children’s schoolwork and discusses issues that might disrupt their children’s education like problems at school or at home. This is one of the forums where EI emphasizes the long-term benefits of education. We would like to thank all of our donors and sponsors for your incredible support over this past year. Happy holidays from the staff and children at Empowerment International!
