Oscar's Last Night at Coachella Community Homes

By Moises Huerta

Oscar Guevara's art workshop at the Coachella Community Homes had their last night on Friday, October 23. There was pizza & juice for all the students. I dropped in and was treated to some pizza & to their beautiful work. It is not just the art but watching the students' characters develop knowing that someone cares about their creativity and talent. Thank you Oscar.

                  Here is their excellent work!

Everything that the students chose to use on their letters came from items at home.

Their creativity is truly amazing!

                          Oscar says this is the class mascot.

                              Lots of detail in these letters to 
                         express each student's individuality.

Karina's creativity comes in many forms

The maturity is these young students is amazing!

                             Thank you McCallum Theatre
                         for your attention to the East Valley.

Indio Senior Center Comes Alive!

By Moises Huerta

We at Crisalida had a little idea to bring some joy into the lives of the seniors at the Indio Senior Center. They celebrate birthdays on the last Thursday of the month so why not have mariachis there to play Las Mañanitas and some of the other favorites. And so we did. And what a lively group of seniors they turned out to be. One of the birthday ladies turned 99 years old. What an honor to be able to be there for her big day! With the utmost respect I am posting her picture here.

Feliz Cumpleaños Consuelo Rodríguez

All the July birthdays together 

These ladies are completing the sentences & telling us how they think.

  These guys made it all come together
