Tutoring Center

I think I have already mentioned the tutoring center. We are going into the precario on Wednesday and Saturday mornings to provide tutoring. Saturdays have really taken off. We have around 30 kids each Saturday. We were a little concerned this morning because we didn't have as many tutors as we have had in the past. We set up and got ready anyway. Things really started picking up. We had 6 children that needed help in French. French?! Are you kidding me? They weren't high school students by the way they were in 2nd and 3rd grade. Well the Lord always provides. We were visited by some people from YWAM. (Youth With A Mission) Jokingly we asked if anyone spoke French. Of course one of the guys did. It was great! I think he had a good time and the kids loved having a man teach them. Pretty cool stuff.

Tutoring

We have begun a new program. We are tutoring in the precario two times a week. It's been really good for me. I didn't realize how much I have missed teaching. I am really trying to hold back as much as possible and just be a resource for the girl that's in charge. She is in college and majoring in pre school education. She is doing a great job organizing everything. I am just around when there are too many kids or one of them is having a problem. She is also trying to learn what kinds of materials are good to have. It's been lots of fun. We worked with a little girl Wednesday who is 6 years old and isn't in school yet. Her mother took her to register for school and they told her there wasn't any more room and to try again next year. That happens a lot to the kids in the precario. No one wants them because they are illegal. Her name is Guadalupe and we are trying to make sure that if there is room for her next year she is not far behind her peers.
