Know whats best about teaching a small group of girls without teaching officially in a school?
I get to teach WHAT EVER I WANT; WHEN EVER I WANT.
so, yesterday the girls learned a little bit about me when i was a girl, about a famous author in the states, about guarani, and about environmental education. All this through the beautiful simple words of Shel Silverstein and translated into guarani by a Bill Bryon, former volunteer.
Well, truth is that the girls had a lot of issues reading the story. It was guarani guarani and not the mix of guarani -spanish. They struggled and read it twice but i felt, after i discussed what it meant for me as a child: a story about the heart is how i translated it, they soon understood that this tree had given its life, its body for this little boy.
