Visiting Valparaiso and more

Originally we were supposed to visit Valparaiso today, but due to the weather, we decided to do the trip yesterday. Valparaiso is a city found in the 5th region of Chile. Valparaiso is known for it's culture, the port, hills and unique artistic vibe. Students were able to visit the many wonderful and unique neighborhoods of the city as well as use the various types of transportation.

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.
