CR Day 18 - Visit a local school



Today we visited a local school. First they had a welcome program for us, they danced and sang and then our students discussed some environmental poster they made. We presented the school with books that we brought to share with them, to add to their English book library . This school has bilingual emphasis so all of the kids speak some English. The WCU students then went into the classrooms to work with the kids and I went around taking photos. It seemed that everyone enjoyed the visit. Several of our students want to teach and those folks were glowing. Being with kids is such fun and it is one of the highlights of our trip, I'm sad that we couldn't have done as many school visits as we'd planned but this is what is happens when you travel, plans have to change for many reasons.



This evening we went to the home of one of our students for a dinner. Lindsey's family home has a wonderful view of San Jose, all lit up at night it is breath taking. It was fun to be in someone's home and see typical Tican life. It is a large, two-story home, very clean and neat with tile everywhere...
