We held the first English Classes at our office Saturday mornings from April to June 16, 2018. The curriculum was created by Candace Ducharme and the program was first administered by Myrla Boesch and then Sonya Damon.
It could not have happened without our wonderful volunteers: Jim & Candace Ducharme, Sonya Damon, Frances Cunningham, Mindy Mathius, Phyllis Nordhoff, Myra King and Jennifer Moore
The classes are open to all students of Chuburná...not just those in our Program
The students who attended were:
Axel, Brigitte, Dana, Dariana, Eli, Habacuc, Josué, Laura Patricia, Meily, Mia, Marintya, & Ruth
It was such a success that Candace and Sonya are going to offer it again with the help of volunteers on Saturday mornings for one hour from October thru to next June...2018-19. If you would like to be part of this rewarding activity please contact dorothy@apoyochuburna.com.
Meanwhile this summer, the English class students wanted to keep coming so Sonya and her amazing volunteers offered English Summer Camp from July 23 to Aug.10th. 10:00-11:30 and 1:00 -2:30. It was great fun, mostly games and activities using only English and open to all students in the village. Thank you Sonya, Linda Loftstrom-Piolunek, Myra King, Phyllis Nordhoff, Sherri Sullivan, Sean O´Kane, Tammy Jordan, Paula Fishman.
Students: Angel, Axel, Brigette, Danilu, Dana, Dariana, Darianna, Eleazar, Eli, Itali, Habacuc, Jessica, Jesus, Jehu, Lupita, Mia, Nahomy, Ruth, Silvana, Yesica, Zabdiel.

Of Course there was food and treats
The students study English in school starting in grade 7
(secondary school) but, most often, with teachers
who cannot speak English...
So the ability to hear & speak it with our volunteers is a gift we can give to the students of Chuburná Puerto.
Gracias!
