The reason I came to Costa Rica is the school. The Adventist School has 38 students, four of which are Adventist. There are two full-time teachers, one part-time, the principal (who teaches sometimes), and an assistant. With so many workers, you may wonder why they needed me and Nickele to come in the first place. It turns out the most important thing these kids learn is English, and many of the employees don’t speak English. And there’s nothing like having a Native English Speaker. Even so, I’m glad there are other teachers here. They are all very sweet and help me and Nickele a lot. Here’s an overview.
Dulce: I’ve already talked about Dulce but just in case you’ve forgotten, Dulce comes everyday to teach the kids in English.
Doris: Doris teaches the 2nd and 3rd graders. She’s very sweet and probably the most patient with the kids.
Nadir: Nadir is awesome. She’s from the States but has been living here with her family for a couple years. Sadly she’s headed back to the states with her son to be with her husband in December.
Tere: Tere does everything. She is definitely the reason our school is clean.
Yolanda: Last but not least is Yolanda. She is the principal of the school and keeps the place going.
All in all, we have a good group here at the school and I know that each of them are working hard to make a difference in these kids lives.
