Iona in Mission (IIM): Bolivia Day 6

Colegio San Francisco 

Today the first and sixth graders became our newest amigas today! We spent time assisting the young children of Cochabamba with their math homework, spelling and writing assignments.  We assisted the overworked profesoras with all that we possibly could.  We simultaneously learned Quechua and taught English to a packed classroom of sixth graders who were eager to learn everything they possibly could about Los Estados Unidos. We crossed new barriers today and completely stepped outside of our comfort zone to educate the bright eyed children of this magnificent city. We feel so blessed to have our education from Iona and walk onto a 35 acre, meticulous campus everyday. We hope that the students of this colegio will be able to attend a school like Iona someday.
