Colombia
This photo was taken while teaching at the Armadillo Foundation in Santa Marta, Colombia in June. It shows the children seated in the baseball diamond dirt listening intently on a lesson in English. Through this foundation, underprivileged children are given the opportunity to practice baseball and learn team building and other life skills required for cooperation amongst their peers. Teaching English has become a part of their curriculum since I started working with them this year. They have shown me the appreciation for education every day as they wait anxiously with a smile on their face. Playing baseball and learning English are sometimes the only things that these children have to look forward to each week. It's truly been an eye opening experience.
