Foreign Cultural Exchange Day!

Let's learn about England...

 A few weeks ago, one of our in-house volunteers proposed the idea of having a day for cultural exchange.  The idea (which had previously been done once but left forgotten) focused on giving kids the opportunity to know where volunteers come from and learn more about their country's culture, language, traditional food, geographical setting, sports and overall general information.

Meet our current volunteers...

Say hello to Holly, Gabrielle, Nicholas, Jesse, Max and Karla...

In the next few months, several updates will include in-house volunteers and so we thought it would be appropriate to let each of them introduce themselves.  And so, without further a do here they are:

For the love of Art!



Proud Artist

 

If you have been following us on Facebook you probably already know that last week we welcomed back our Art Teacher, Renan Lebollo'ch whom we affectionally refer to as Ren.  Originally, Ren came to Colombia as a volunteer.  During his time as a volunteer, he made a great impact instilling in kids a love for art. 

One Hundred Years From Now...

"One Hundred years from now

it will not matter what kind of house you lived in...

what kind of car you drove... what your bank balance was...

what will matter is, that you were important in the life of a child,

a mother, a lonely senior

and that you helped make a difference in their future
and that of their families."

--Adapted from a quote by Forest Witcraft
