English Lessons

Natasha, our Canadian Intern Student, has been teaching English to our students. She has travelled out to various villages and held three day seminars. The students are excited about learning this way and it has been a wonderful way of telling the whole village about our school. Natasha has been fantastic about taking public transport and spending time visiting with the students and their families.

This week she is holding seminars in Santa Cruz.

The Ministry of Education is having trouble paying the teachers. Consequently, there is no school. They are contemplating shutting the schools for the rest of the year and simply giving everyone a pass. This has been done before but truly does nothing good for the students. It makes our approach so much more valuable. Students receive the whole curriculum, regardless of what happens.
