When the school day ends at Robinson Elementary, about 40 kids walk, run and hopscotch their way to Good Afternoon Friends and Amigos, an after-school program primarily serving the families of farmworkers. “This service is super-duper important for these families,” Program Director Mary Torres said. “If this program wasn’t here, these children would be home alone.” Aiden Bautista is in second grade and each afternoon — has a ball. “So, when I go to Friends and Amigos, I play outside and play soccer,” the 8-year-old said. Each day this bi-lingual program serves up a wide variety of activities. There’s yoga with breathing and calming techniques, help with homework, sports activities and a meal. Aiden’s mom loves the free program because it means her son is in a safe place while she works long hours picking local crops.
