Maria Margarita Meza
As our only
native Spanish speaker, Margarita soon became the “Mamá” of our group. She had
to carry a very big part of the load during our afternoon sessions with the local
students, and did an incredible job. Margarita was an important connection
between the SEDV group and the local stakeholders, which made our work possible
and fruitful.
Jeff Coombes
Jeff was
the brain of our group. His ideas were incredibly helpful in order to prepare
participatory and fun workshops with the kids. Without his input, it would have
been impossible to create such excitement among the local students. He also
played a major role in organizing the final report for the local stakeholders.
Nic Ritchie
Even though
he didn’t speak a lot of Spanish when he arrived, Nic immediately connected
with the local students, thus having an amazing effect on the positive climate
in our classroom. The kids fell in love with his fun loving and open minded
nature, which made them overcome the language gap easily. Nic’s value for our
group was immense. Not only did he do everything that had to be done without a
word of complaint, he also guaranteed the harmony within the group.
