I was walking home from school after my first day of teaching, and I was praying how God could use me while I am in Spain. I was crossing over a beautiful bridge when I looked over the river and saw the poor part of the city I am staying in. It is like the Spain version of Parramore*, without the dangers. This is where most of the kids from my school live. Some of these students don’t come to school for days or months at a time because their parents don’t value education and need their help in home and this is reflected in their school work and how well they do in the classroom. I talked to the headmaster and starting in February I am going to tutor some of these children who need extra help but can not afford it after school on Monday and Wednesdays. Please be praying that I can help to make a difference in the lives of the children and their parents as well! I hope to build relationships with them as much as I can, with the language barrier.
*Parramore is the poorest and most dangerous part of Orlando where Courtney and I tutor every other Saturday in Orlando.
