Vila Andrade Wrap up

My four years of teaching at Vila Andrade ended this month with a ceremony for certificates and a Christmas party. It was a bittersweet day of rewarding my students for their hard work and saying good-bye. I encouraged each one of them to continue studying English through their schools, online, and other means they can find. Please pray for Mayara, Kaique, Renata, Mirelle, Ana Carol, Alex, Nilton and Leticia to not lose their dreams of a better life!
