Cycling with Sally

We arrived at our first Salvation Army school and did not know what to expect. Upon arrival we discovered they were two teachers short, what are the odds and were thrown into the mix. Over the next 4 hours we were given classes of different age groups totalling 150 kids. Children at the best of times can be a handful, but try to imagine 40 plus students with all eyes on us, trying to contain their excitement and us desperately looking at one another, waiting for a miracle and for one of us to start speaking fluent Spanish. This did not happen. Oh the power of body language, examples and lots of smiling. It actually turned out really well and we were able to teach a few activities and had a bunch of laughs. Once we got through all the kids we were pretty happy to have lunch which they generously provided. 


We would like to thank Majora Janeth Scott who received us ever so warmly, her husband for talking to us on the telephone even though he was busy and Norma Fredricks for crowd control and some translation. We really had a great time here and slept very well that night.
