As I unfortunately missed Halloween with the boys – which happens to be my all time favorite holiday! – I made up for it by taking the lads out this evening for a spooky evening walk in the woods near by.

We trekked down the road and headed into the woods, where everyone turned off their flashlights and set off on an a little dark adventure. We traversed tunnels, crossed bridges, sang some songs, stepped in puddles and got a little muddy, but what fun it was!

Loving that blurry aesthetic. Blurry smiles, but smiles nonetheless.

A little flash photography to ruin the night-vision they developed.

Our boys have returned brimming with energy, their spirits as vibrant as ever. This past weekend, the campus came alive with a whirlwind of activities, each corner buzzing with laughter, teamwork, and boundless enthusiasm.

Another weekend in the Concha Boarding House that starts in a sweet way: pancakes! 🤩🥞

Mr Tarun got everything needed to prepare the best pancakes the kids could have ever tried, from flour and milk to different toppings to make the pancakes tastier. While sitting around the table, we shared experiences and fun holiday stories. This is a nice way to connect with one another and discover new yet unknown aspects of each one of us. 😇

As you might know, in the Concha Boarding House we are a bunch of foodies. That is the reason why we are thinking of preparing a more Swiss-style food evening in the house… You will see, it’s on the works! 🤫

P.S.: By the way, it’s all of us in the house again! Rodrigo just arrived today from his autumn break. After having some lovely weeks of holidays between Mexico and the United States, he has enough energy to keep on being the brilliant student he was before the break! 💪🏻

Mr Tarun was so concentrated while making the pancakes!

Look at this crew! 🤪

Welcome back Rodri!

This evening we enjoyed some lovely Indian food for our International Dinner!

Have a look at a few photos from the last few days of October.

As the fog rolls in and the leaves begin to tumble, the house starts to get cozier and cozier.

This Fall break three of our boys, Jiarui, Eduardo and Enrique went on an adventure across Tanzania!

Not only did they explore their beautiful surroundings, they also helped the community and learned some new skills in the process.

Dear all,

We would like to wish you all an excellent break!

To our Boys: Get plenty of rest so that you’re back fully recharged and raring to go! The second half of this semester is going to be awesome!

To our Parents: We wish you an enjoyable holiday with your son! It has been a pleasure having him with us these busy last 7 weeks.

Have a great Autumn Break!

Best,

The Concha Team

Time flies, especially when all the experiences lived are full of joy!

We still remember the very first days when our Concha boys were gradually arriving. Some of them were more talkative, others barely spoke, were homesick or simply trying to get used to living in a completely different environment that was not the norm for them. However, time has passed by and a friendly international community has been formed in the Boarding House.

In order to make the most of this last day, the kids have tried to spend as much quality time together as possible: at lunch, in Olympus or in the house! We organised a house sleepover in the living room for their last memory before the Autumn Break to be unforgettable.

Wish you all a restful breaks. We look forward to hearing your break stories once you are back in the house!

See you in two weeks, lads! 👋🏻
