Oaxaca with Donzetta

It is now Monday and my break before the afternoon classes begin. I have taken a picture of my new grammar class. We had one person join us from Japan. She is a school administrator in Tokiyo. She speaks very good spanish. She studied two years in spain and some other time in Mexico City. She is here to improve her spanish before spending some time with her daughter in Mexico City. Her daughter is going to spend a year at UNAM. She speaks good english and of course Japanese.

It is now Tuesday and I have more pictures so I am going to publish now. Enjoy!

Envia
This is Samantha, the person who coordinates Envia. Envia is an organization of the school that loans to the poor women in the surrounding pueblos so that they can start or build their businesses. The money for the loans is raised from the money charged for the tours for the students during which the negocios explain their business. The banks charge from 70 - 90% interest. This is a very compassionate and necessary organization for the poor of the smaller villages..
