As well as extending the women's shelter we have taken advantage of the school vacation to continue work on the first phase of extending the multi-use classroom space which currently hosts our dance classes. With this base completed we will be ready to erect the steel superstructure for what we plan to be a two floor space which will help us to accommodate our music education classes at the same time as extra secondary education classes, which we cannot do at the moment.

In January we finally managed to lay the ceramic floor tiles and paint the extension to the women's shelter. All that remains is to reinstall the beds and furniture and kitchen equipment.

Every year on December 12th, the feast day of Our Lady of Guadelupe, Superemos invites local families to celebrate La Purísima, Nicaragua's traditional celebration of the feast of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary.

This year 2019 the Sones Segovianos end of year concert was held at the Superemos community program center. The activity included an art exhibition as well as music and dance presentations by the Sones Segovianos students.

The end of year concert presented by the Sones Segovianos team in November included an exhibition of the paintings of the program's art students, with support and guidance from the Sones Segovianos art teacher Francisca Valdivia Arce

Before taking a break over the Christmas holiday we completed the new structure for the extension to the women's shelter. We still have to finish internal rendering, tiling and painting, reinstall the wiring and install new windows. We hope to complete that work by mid January. We are very grateful to our friends and supporters, especially David Suliteanu, for making this work possible. It will greatly improve the available dormitory space and general living space as well as freeing up office space for our program addressing domestic violence.

Before taking a break over the Christmas holiday we managed to carry forward the construction of the base for the extension to the dance/multi-use classroom area to the point where we are ready to lay the concrete floor. That will complete this first phase, leaving the base ready for the superstructure which we hope to complete before the end of the New Year in 2020. We are very grateful to our supporters for making this work possible.

With help from our supporters we have been able to begin the first phase of extending our dance/multi-use classroom area which we hope to finish at the end of next year 2020. This first phase consists of creating a base with a concrete floor on which we expect to create a two floor structure so as to continue improving the classroom infrastructure for our students.

Thanks to help from David Suliteneau of the San Francisco based company Kendo Brands, we have been able to undertake extending the dormitory area of our women's shelter. So far we have been able to lay down the new floor space, raise the walls to receive the new roof structure, create new doorways and seal off old window spaces so as to create the access we need for the new dormitory area. The next steps will be to put on the new roof, clad the external wall areas, make good the internal walls and floor and then paint. We hope to have the area completely finished by mid-January.

On November 9th this year Sones Segovianos organized a recital concert for the program's music students in preparation for the end of year concert on November 30th.
