Summary
Details

In the countryside near San Miguel de Allende, an NGO called Feed the Hungry San Miguel provides meals to students in dozens of elementary schools, including one in the small community of Los Ricos de Abajo. In addition, a group of volunteer English teachers shows up in Los Ricos every Wednesday during the winter months to teach the kindergarten students, the elementary through high school students, and the adults. The stories recorded here take you from the very beginning of the English program through its evolution, including the experiences of the students, the school director, Lucha, and one of the students, Yessenia. Few programs like this have existed for as long as this one has: our longevity is a tribute to the teachers and the Los Ricos community. For those who may consider doing something similar, within this tale are lessons to be learned. For those who loved being part of it, there are stories ahead that will inspire you to rejoice, learn, and share.
