Much appreciation for our three volunteers who daily help Lourdes with 60 children of different ages as well as 24 grandmothers who come once a week to Estrella de Sauce.
In the photo above appear from left to right: Stephanie Hemmen from Bavaria, Yana Dinkelmayer from near Hamburg and Emma Ulzhoefer from Berlin. Stefanie is a freelance volunteer while Yanna and Emma are with us under the auspices of the Weltwehrts program sponsered by the government of Germany and die Freunde der Erziehungskunst Rudolf Steiners which is a worldwide Waldorf outreach program.
They are all rapidly improving their level of Spanish by attending weekly evening classes with Lourdes who has a real talent for teaching the lingo. In the photo above they are eating soup after last night's Spanish class.
We also have a fourth volunteer, John Griffiths from Cirencester in the UK seen on the left. He comes to us via the Workaway international volunteer program and has a variety of skills including being a football coach, long-distance swimmer, mathematics teacher, gardener and handyman. At the moment he is doing lots of boat maintenance and painting.
