PLENA DESCRIPTION
April 14, 2022: First day of Plena Workshop. These children have become interested in our Plena classes and want to continue learning... They were present both days. The absence of children on the second day could be that the day is Good Friday. For Latino families, according to tradition, that day is in communion with the family. Photos.
Our strength is to attract youth. Our weakness is letting the plan know before it happens. One more experience for PRIAA. Photos
