Corinne at the Guarderia

The other day, I got a lovely email from a former student and volunteer named Corinne from Switzerland. She had been traveling through South America with her boyfriend when she landed in Montanita decided to work on her Spanish skills with us at MSS before continuing on her travels. While studying, she decided to visit the Guadería with me one morning, and fell in love with all the kids. She ended up at the staying there and volunteering for two weeks, getting to know all the children and helping the staff at this super worthwhile organization. Today I got these awesome photos in my inbox.

¡Sonrisas grandes!

Werner at the Primary School

Werner was our last volunteer at the Primary School in Montanita, and he has taken the job head on. Working with hundereds of students from 7 to 16 years old is definately a challenge, but Werner has conquered the hearts of the kids and been teaching English for 5 weeks.

A few weeks ago was the big Defile in Montanita. Kids representing schools from all the nearby
pueblos came together in Montañita for a big parade. Obviously, Werner walked with his class, and we all came out to cheer him on.

Thank you Werner for all your hard work. The kids already miss you! And good luck to Dushka, who just started volunteering this week. We're so proud!
