The El Yaz Elementary School
is one of the schools we work with as part of our La Flor project. Because we didn’t have enough volunteers this week, Isaac, the
Director of our Central Valley projects, went to the 4th grade to teach so we wouldn’t miss any
classes. While there, he asked them to do an art project explaining to
future volunteers why they wanted to learn English.

Click here to see the photo album where you can see adorable pictures of the kids holding up pieces of paper on which they drew pictures and wrote explanations to potential future volunteers the reasons why they really want to learn English.

Answers varied from their wanting to learn English so they could teach their brother’s and sister’s to their wanting to understand the lyrics of songs. But the most common answer was that they wanted to be able to find a good job when they grew up.

We really find that nearly all the kids we work with are excited about learning and they take their time with us very seriously. As a matter-of-fact, nearly all of the kids continue to attend classes even during their vacations.
