UP DATE

We are really enjoying working with our kids, although it is very difficult at times. Justina and I (Yuliana) are working with 90 percent mapuche kids (indian kids). We teach them Engish in the afternoons and during the day we help and encourage the teachers because it is a very difficult job to work with them.

We mostly work with the teacher who teaches special ed students and the younger kids. We see that these teachers really love having us and appreciate us comming to teach their kids.

Unfourtantly for the last two days we have not been able to go out to the schools because gas prices protest has been going on and no taxis and buses will drive. So, in order for us not to in danger our lifes our ministry host said it would be better to stay.

We hope to go tomorrow and come back safely.
