There were between 15 and 20 students in each group in five classrooms, from year 1 to year five. The guests were students with greater learning difficulties than average.

The postulants animated a lot of the cultural handicrafts activities, the singing, the dancing, the music and the physical education. One of them was the mandalas drawing. The children took part in these cultural activities with a lot of openness and joy, which provided closeness between teachers and students, a more relaxed atmosphere, a lot of concentration.

“The dedication, sleepless nights and affection of applicants led to many happy moments to students, which gives us much joy and fills our hearts,” said Brother Gustavo Cerda, formator in the postulancy.

The postulancy Les Cayes include three formators: Luis Enrique Rodríguez – animator, Jean Louis Mance and Gustavo Martín Cerda Hernández. In the 2015 – 2016 school year, four postulants in their first year, and six in their second year finished the postulancy, which lasts three years.
