A fun weekend

We visited a festival in the neighboring city of Valparaiso. While enjoying our time at the festival, we ran into some of the students and their Chilean families. Some of the families have shared pictures with us and we wanted to share these pictures with you.


Saturday June 24: Fiesta del Sol


Saw some students at the Metro on the way to Valparaiso:

One of the families spent the weekend in Cajon del Maipo (outside of Santiago):

Bienvenida en Viña (the welcome)

We arrived to the location where students will be taking their classes and doing their afternoon activities. The families were waiting and were very excited to meet their kids. Each student was introduced to their family followed by performances and introductions. It was a great way to dive right in and get a glimpse at Chilean culture.

Last week

During our last week, we had the going away party and show. Students read poems, danced, sang, acted and enjoyed time with family and friends. What a great way to finish these amazing 6 weeks.

5th week

It was a good week. The week started with classes and our usual afternoon activities. On Thursday we went to Valparaiso to paint a mural and we finished the week with a trip to Isla Negra and Pomaire.
