Hi all!
So this is what blogging is about. This is my first blog post, and I have no idea if I am doing this right.
In a way, this class is giving me a wonderful opportunity for writing about summer in Guatemala. This entire summer, I will be in Antigua, Guatemala because I have a tiny project called "Kick Start" that I started with a local person a year ago. There are so many children who don't go to school and work all day on a street selling whatever they can sell. These children have a lot of problems at home with abuse, and alcoholism, and so on. So we started a group for those children to come and play soccer for 3 hours once a week. The person who I work with used to be a professional soccer player. I will start teaching English to them today. Boys usually just want to play, but I hope sister or cousins of these boys will come to learn a bit of English!
This is great and sounds like a very rewarding experience for your project. I hope the children come to you by the hundreds to learn english and to have a little fun. This is a wonderful endeavor and I wish you much success for this program. Please keep us posted!
