DESEO —<br />
In <strong>2017</strong> the DESEO team, made up of 9 employees and 3 volunteers, served 2500 students<br />
weekly in 15 public schools. The focus of the morning public school program for <strong>2017</strong> was<br />
teaching values through various Bible stories. This team prepared devotionals each week<br />
for each of the 15 schools including dynamic songs and skits. The 45-minute lessons taught<br />
in each classroom each week were prepared at each grade level. Teachers in the school did<br />
a great job of supporting the program by reviewing weekly with the students. Each unit was<br />
evaluated with a simple written test given to the students, showing that the children are<br />
indeed retaining the lessons that were taught.<br />
Additionally, over 200 different children were served with our afternoon programs including<br />
basketball, tutoring and our new children’s chorus, CANTO. CANTO had two concerts this<br />
year and ended the year by participating with the local church in a Christmas musical.<br />
This year DESEO expanded its reach by work with a Kindergarten for the first time. The<br />
results were amazing. The DESEO curriculum was adapted for the younger audience and the<br />
response from parents and the community was overwhelming.<br />
