Saturday Morning Post...Peruvian Edition

Hey friends,
It's been awhile since I've posted, but all things are quiet on the Peruvian Front.

I'm about to finish up this month of teaching at SALI and am very excited to say that one of my classes will be finishing up their Fast track Course!
Fast track is an intensive approach to English, I teach 2 hours everyday and the students are also given weekly tests, have to do 2 oral presentations each month as well as vocabulary quizzes and interviews with native speakers for a grade, The program lasts for 7 months total and at the end, though not fluent, they are able to be fairly conversant with a pretty solid vocabulary. Needless to say, the students who make it through the program work very hard for it! So this Wednesday, SALI and I will be congratulating Ivka, Katherine, and Roselly on all their hard work over these past 7 months. I was fortunate to have them for 3 of those months and they are pretty amazing chicas. My other students in different classes are pretty amazing too, but their time in the spotlight just has not come yet. Soooon!

In other news...

I have finished putting together a little information pdf to explain more about the Porvenir music ministry as well as how to get involved, and some of our goals for the next year. Please click below and take a look and see what's happening with some very talented future musicians south of the equator!

And in Conclusion,
I have been out for the past week (maybe 2 weeks, but who's counting) with what I thought was a bad cold, only to go to the doctor when I was not getting better who told me I actually had Sinusitis and a slight case of bronchitis. No worries, he gave me enough antibiotics to fight a war, and I'm feeling much better. I cant say I'm 100% yet, but I still have 2 more days of meds. In time....
