They welcomed me to their school with a bunch of delicious treats!
In the community of Peñalolen here in Santiago, I help at The Centro Educacional Erasmo Escala Arriagada. Three times a week I get to go help a teacher in his classes. I am the first person from the US to come to this school so they are all very interested in learning more about this big gringo and his country. It has been fun sharing more about eachother and our cultures.
ING`s program is called `Chances for Children,` and they recognize English as an advantage they want these kids to have. There is a large gap in the social classes here, and the public schools struggle because they don´t have as many resources. I am here to be the kids friend, and to give them a quality classroom experience.
