Working
directly with Mexican students will give you provide the opportunity
for you to learn about many of the issues Mexicans face every day, it
will also provide you with a deeper understanding of their culture.
When people of different cultures have opportunities to connect with
each other, there comes a greater understanding of our shared
humanity. We learn to appreciate and to gain respect for that people.
Each
day volunteer teachers will have the opportunity to learn Spanish
from a native Spanish-speaking teacher. Spanish cultural classes will
be held twice monthly and will cover a variety of topics such as:
Mexican local and regional customs, holidays and history. Also, we
will arrange trips to visit regional museums, parks, and historical
places which will allow you to become better acquainted with The
Mexican culture. In addition, if you want to learn a little
more about Mexican gastronomy and folklore, we can arrange for you
dance classes and/or cooking classes, at very low cost.
You
will be the same person ... but not the same as always.
