It was soon time to hand out the presents to the girls and because two of them have a French "godmother" whose present hadn't yet arrived by post I decided to give them two books with stickers, so they wouldn't feel they had been put aside and take the opportunity to show them the godmother's photo and talk to them a bit about her.

Then it was time for Lavinia to get her Christmas and birthday presents, which included an Art project to do later, once she is very fond of artistic "challenges".

Josseane, irrespective of being the Mayor's daughter was also entitled to a book, so as not to feel different from the other girls.

The idea behind having bought books for all of them is to further encourage them to continue developing their reading skills and allow them to "dream". Some of them got puzzles as well, based on the last workshop experience of either having realised they really enjoyed doing them or had difficulties to do them.
