English Class for Fran

It looks like we are going to have to pay for a quality English class for Fran over this summer.  Partly because she is required to get an official certificate from a real school, and partly because the free lessons she is taking now are not moving a long as fast as we had hoped.  So this summer, I want to enroll her in Harmon Hall in Oaxaca.  Each month costs 2,000 pesos or $150.  If we can afford 2 months, great.  If only one, that's fine too.  If you would like to make a donation towards this class, you can go here:

Thank you!

FRAN WILL RECEIVE AWARD FOR BEING #1 IN HER CLASS!

Fran will receive an award tomorrow for being the best student in her class last semester.  She is stunned and happy, and I am feeling like the goose who laid a golden egg.  Please join me in congratulating Fran for her very hard work, laser-like focus, and endurance.  It isn't often in life that I have had a chance to bear witness to accomplishment like this, and I can't stop smiling!

This is a huge encouragement for her, and I can't wait to see what she does this semester!

Tomorrow's the day!

Today, Monday, was a Mexican holiday (there are so many!) so Fran spent it preparing for her first day of school tomorrow.  She went shopping for food, cooked up a big batch of chilis and beans for the week, washed her clothes, took a shower (or two), sat down for an early dinner, and was asleep by 9pm.  That girl knows how to take care of herself!

She wakes at 6 a.m. tomorrow and I think she said her class starts at 7 a.m.  She's nervous and excited and happy, as it should be.  I will tell you of her first day tomorrow.  Goodnight for now.
