Volunteers also shared culture, history and ideas while having fun. It is challenging and rewarding to work with such a wonderful group of people. The teachers greatly appreciate that every student has the opportunity to speak English with a volunteer during group work, where there is usually a one to five or six ratio of volunteers to students. For those of you who have had the pleasure of working with Cesar, you know what a wonderful experience it is to work with his students in small groups. Cesar is very happy with the dedication and cooperation of the volunteers that we have received here in Rota and with the progress his students continue to make while learning hands-on and having fun.
Students get a brief geography lesson while practicing their English.
Fall teams worked with Pepi, a new and energetic teacher who is very impressed with the volunteers and how her students interact with them. The students have the opportunity to speak English in a way that one teacher in a classroom cannot provide. The volu nteers praised Pepi for her organization and dedication, and they shared a wonderful experience. We look forward to working with her again this spring. Lourdes is once again teaching a few classes of English at the Colegio.
