English classes are a hit in the villages, especially when teacher Miriam leads the fun! Currently Ms. Miriam from BEST Academy visits the community center every other week and brings two great classes for the kids and adults to attend.
The first class she gives is nutrition which is always accompanied with a delicious and healthy recipe that the students prepare and make together. Ms. Miriam gives them practical tools and easy to understand information to help them make life changing choices in their health and nutritional habits.
Ms. Miriam brings 15+ years of educational experience to the classroom and is backed by an amazing team of professional educators with BEST Academy. Her English classes are fun, interactive and leave the students wanting to learn more.
Our staff and students who attend the community centers educational classes have already learned so much from the team at BEST Academy. We are excited for the next project where BEST Academy will help equip, train, and implement physical education classes once a week in our partner elementary school 21 de Marzo in the village of La Peña. Not only will we be able to hire a local teacher to give the PE classes, but it opens up a wonderful opportunity for our soccer boys to volunteer as a teachers aide working alongside the teacher and learning what sports in a professional and educational setting is really like.
We truly appreciate BEST Academy and their investment in our community, in the lives of the children and youth, mothers who want to learn and implement better nutrition for their families.
