Our newest member of the Concha Brothers! Our boys gave him a warm welcome and are helping him settling in.

A new brother!

Sorel, Dario, Kenneth, Fede and Javi all took part in a 3v3 football tournament organised by the staff and students going to the upcoming Tanzania School Trip. The tournament was a charity event to raise money for children in need in Tanzania. It was a great turn out, lots of students made teams and gave donations, making sure to have a great competion at the same time.

Well done and thank you boys!

So happy to see lots of the Concha Climbing Crew join the club this Saturday! Artem, Ege, Fede and Kenneth really challenged themselves today, showing grit and perseverance on the wall. Fede showed off some great techniques using his body positioning to help him reach higher. We also spoke about the importance of ”reading the route”. Before you climb you should always try to visualise the hand movements and footwork that you will need to get to the top, this will help your flow when you climb instead of having to stop, think and look for the next hand holds.

They all did great – Well done boys!

Reading Club is feeling like it’s beginning to grow on the boys. They pick up the book of their choice and settle down on the sofa to immerse themselves in the worlds the authors made for them.

Lots of well written summaries and nicely explained stories in the boys reading diaries.

This afternoon, our lads joined me for a walk around Versoix to help pick up some litter.

It’s a good way to give back and support the town that we call home!

The Crew

This afternoon Ege, Efe, Federico and Kenneth joined the CDL colour run, where after each lap of Concha, they had some colors splashed on white tshirts, resulting in a beautiful amalgam of colours coming together!

Efe loving life, feeling amaizing!

To celebrate Respect week here at CDL, this evening our Concha boys sat down and wrote down the three words that first come to mind when they think of the word Respect.

Lucky lads enjoying a weekend in Germany’s Theme Park. Lots of roller-coasters, good food, toys, souvenirs and great memories made with awesome friends!

Another succesful shopping trip, Kenneth and Alex bought some new football boots. The big question is who’s are cooler. So of course they came to their trusted House Parents to solve this dispute.

They’re tied with one vote each at the moment – Which boots do you like best?

What do you think? Who’s are cooler?
