Teaching English to kids and adults of Punta Allen, an amazing way to make the difference!
Voice from the field, Jun 19, 2013 - Pez Maya
Every week a few of our volunteers head off
to Punta Allen to teach English in the local primary and secondary schools as
well as helping some of the local adults improve their English. This week the
kindergarden children enjoyed colouring in drawings our volunteers drew to help
them learn simple nouns. We didn’t realize how well they’d go down with them as
they were demanding for more! The secondary school kids focused on occupations,
and learning how to explain what they would like to do after they leave school.
The adults worked on simple conversations in English which would come in handy
when they were visited by tourists who came to see their little fishing village
with all of its charm. After a busy morning, the volunteers went to the local
restaurant to have the famously delicious empanadas served at Lucy’s! They were
even kind enough to order some to bring back to base for the hungry staff
members who quickly scoffed them up!
