Guatemala Reunion
Last night we had a reunion dinner with the 18 graduate students we took to Antigua, Guatemala last summer. These future teachers were completing the first phase of their student teaching experience. I went as a volunteer faculty but Alexander has coordinated the Antigua program for the last four years. This celebration was the last one... he has now officially passed the baton to another faculty member since he'll be retiring in December.
Students shared how living and teaching in a third world country has made them more sensitive to the needs of students in their California classrooms. It was very validating to hear how much the experience meant to them and the impact it has had on their world view and values. We laughed, shared stories, good food, and memories of an experience never to be forgotten.

The colors of Guatemala are a reminder of the beauty of this country and its people.
