Painting Butterflies

Remember Silvia? We featured her recently during our Kaya Challenge series, but wanted to share even more about this wonderful girl in the Kaya Center!

Silvia just turned 8 years old last month. She has a passion for learning and is extremely hardworking, often asking the teachers at the Kaya Center for more practice math problems or spelling and sentence construction exercises. However, her passion is for arts and crafts. From finger painting to beads and macaroni, she loves being creative and incorporating her favorite animals, “osos” (bears) and “mariposas” (butterflies), into her work. In her world, mariposas have eyebrows. Silvia just finished her latest masterpiece, created at the Kaya Center!
