bmh Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 you guys could connect with the kids that would be cleaning Ajijic and give them priority for the Kayak classes, it would be a positive reinforcemnt at keeping Ajijic clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

traderspoc Posted April 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 we are connected Hector and Manuel are already picking the kids for the kids kayaking class. The class will be held monthly limit now twenty kids, 10 kayaks 8 volunteers hector and Manuel they know the ones who deserve it twenty two kids came to the class with tags on there chest, with the work Manix on them. the kids kayaking day was a success, its was the first introduction of kayaking to the kids in Ajijic. its was fun to watch the kids learn, for five minutes, they kind of went in circles, then all of a sudden they got it and went straight, then started making turns and stops naturally. they loved. it in a few years from now , hundreds of Ajijic kids will have learned for free the basics of kayaking on lake Chapala. thank you Maria Isabel restaurant for storing the kayaks, and Hector and Manuel for sending the kids. this kids kayaking program will only work if we have volunteers. to get new volunteers hopefully we can use the older kids who came, to help the next time we have a kids kayaking day.
