Alameda Children's Classes and Junior Youth Group
Thursdays from about 4:15 pm - 5:45 pm on a grassy area at the Esperanza complex in West Alameda. It is a group of 6-7 kids (depending on the week). There is a steady core of 4 girls ages about 7 - 14. The Junior Youth group is making a movie about how to help "bad kids" want to become "good kids". They also want to do monthly fieldtrips. We've shared some of Anna's Presentation and the kids plan to make fliers to invite others to join the group. The younger kids work in a group nearby - one week they helped make the scenery for the movie, and this past week they did a Ruhi 3 lesson. Farid has been so helpful in working with the little ones. And Zeeba and Nika have been helping with the Jr. Youth.
