Inglés la apertura de un mundo nuevo

¿Para nosotras qué significa el inglés? 

Tal vez nosotras nos hemos relacionado con el idioma la gran mayoría de nuestras vidas, pero sabemos que hay personas que aún no han tenido la oportunidad de aprenderlo.

Esa es mi propuesta, el enseñarle a un grupo de niñas de "El Hogar de las niñas" donde 100 niñas de diferentes edades (todas de escasos recursos) viven con monjas que les enseñan en la escuela que está dentro del establecimiento. Para estas niñas no hay una vida afuera de las paredes que las rodean, solo saben lo que les enseñan, sin embrago a petición de la Madre monja del hogar, enseñaremos a las niñas de diferentes niveles, el nivel básico de inglés para que puedan no solo culturizarse con otro idioma sino también para que se les abrán las puertas a un mundo nuevo, lleno de oportunidades.

El mundo está evolucionando y la mayoría de esas revoluciones están pasando en el idioma inglés, enseñar el inglés es elemental en estos días, y si nosotras podemos, ¿Porque ellas no?

Why do service first?

You may ask yourself why would i do service first in CAS?

Well, that's because it's the area of CAS that I identify myself most right now. Over the years that I've been on school they've made us go do some service work in some of the towns nearby the school and honestly for me it's one of the most delightful feelings when you can help people that are in need. I adore the expression on the girl's faces when we get to the place to start with their activities. I've helped the same girls for two years and I feel proud of the improvement in the girl's personalities and school grades, because you know that all that was possible with your help.

These girls become less and less shyer around you every time and after just a few months you feel that they are your little sisters. And to see how they come to care for you so much as you come to care about them. Some girls show so much affection towards you at the end of the year, making you feel that all those extra hours that you spend with them make it so worth it.

I think charity work does you greater good sometimes that it does to them, because you realize how much you can give of yourself and how you can help others in such little things but they still make it seem as if you just gave them the whole world in their hands.

That's what I love about service, if you just give the kids you're helping just a little piece of your heart they can sometimes bestow you all of theirs.

My first CAS experience

Project:  "Just a few books can make a BIG difference "

Quick description:

"El Hogar de la Niña" in Santa Rosa, is a home for girls managed by nuns. The home right now is taking care of 100 poor girls, the girls live at the home from january to october, and the rest of the year they go live with relatives. At the same time the home has a little school called "Santa María Goretti", where the girls study from pre-school to the end of elementary school. 

The home was built for a capacity of 160 interns, but right now they have only 100 and they have asked for people to help them collect enough material in order for the nuns to have the material to increase their number of girls in the home up to 160. 

Goals to accomplish:

Encourage the girls from EV to participate donating used clothes, textbooks and new notebooks. 

On the 25th I'm going to accompany the Rotary club to give some donations and supplies for the home. I leave you with an inspirational quote from Ghandi:

“The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.”
