We had our first Spanish class at Amigos Spanish School. All three of us are in one class together in the mornings for four hours with our teacher Josse. Jesus, one of the founders of Amigos, runs an after school program for disadvantaged youth that is financed by the Spanish classes. The kids learn English, get assistance with their homework, receive math tutoring when necessary and play games together.

We went back to school in the late afternoon to celebrate the 13th birthday of a boy named Jordi, one of these kids. Brook had fun playing chess with several of the boys. When the math tutor didn’t show up, I thoroughly enjoyed helping two boys with their homework and picking up some Spanish math vocabulary.
