Bring Culture Into Your Conversation Group

Hazel Zúñiga, a teacher at the Monseñor Sanabria Vocational High School in Desamparados, wrote in last week's Volunteer Bulletin that student volunteers Ben and Jo, Community Conversations participants through the International Center for Development Studies (ICDS), planned to conduct a country line-dancing session at with her students! When this was published in the bulletin, volunteer Carolyn Reilly jumped at the opportunity to have the ICDS student volunteers visit her conversation group in Sabanilla to teach some dancing lessons there as well at a Fourth of July-style barbeque! We have yet to confirm this event, but if we pull it off, we will be sure to tell you about it here. Have you incorporated dancing or music into your own groups? Please tell us about it at volunteer@crmultilingue.org.
