I have safely arrived in Guatemala. I will be here for two weeks to tour, teach in a local school and practice my Spanish skills. I will begin my official teaching assignment tomorrow.
Since my group's first weekend here was unstructured, I decided to get a head start on teaching. When I visited this town last summer, I made some connections with the locals and acquired many new Facebook followers. Through social media, I learned that English classes for adults were recently established and volunteered my skills there. I met over thirty individuals who signed up for the classes, the majority of those being fellow educators. They were a delightful group to work with and I look forward to going back next week.
This year's teaching assignment is at a private school. I am eager to find out how it compares to the public school that I taught at last summer. As I make these observations, I will be sure to share them with you all. In the meantime, enjoy your summer. In a few short weeks, it's back to the trenches.
