Buenos Dias Todos!
It’s Caroline and Jane this weeks student leaderz. The city of Xela has offered its new guests a whole world of fun. Spanish classes, hot springs, waterparks, mountain climbing, and a nauseating amount of bussin’ baked goods. Spending five hours a day at a school might sound like a bore, but our time at PLQ has truly been special. We’ve improved our speaking skills, but our education has gone further than just conjugation. A female veteran shared her experience fighting for indigenous Guatemaltecas, a conference on mining brought us insights, and fútbol was so epic it left some people sore for days.
