Alba Martinez<br />
Classroom teacher in Joconal<br />
Alba began working wth Lan Vwa in January 2016. She<br />
is the mother of a little boy named William. They live<br />
with their little dog Scotty in Roblesito. She travels to<br />
Joconal with Scotty to work Monday to Friday. We are<br />
lucky to have such an incredible teacher and a natural<br />
leader.<br />
“The experience that I have had working in the Lan<br />
Vwa project has been wonderful, because I have been<br />
able to help these young men and women in their education.<br />
I know these kids want to be someone good in<br />
the future. They want to succeed in life. Thank you for<br />
giving me the opportunity to work in this institution.”<br />

Join us for a Virtual Open House<br />
We are pleased to invite you into our classroom for another special open house<br />
this March. The physical trip may take more than a day, but on March 14th, it’s<br />
just a few clicks away. No need to leave your living room, just register online,<br />
and we’ll send you a link with all the information.<br />
When we first started inviting our partners to visit the classroom, our students<br />
were extremely nervous. Most of them are shy when they meet new people,<br />
so you can imagine how they felt about talking to a bunch of gringos that they<br />
have never met. After the first couple Open Houses, our students began to love<br />
it! Now they look forward to sharing and practicing their English with new partners<br />
and friends. To register, visit our Facebook page and click on events. Our<br />
students hope to see you there.<br />
