Semillas de Amor: Dreams and English

Entry by Sheena, an intern at Semillas de Amor: 
Many of the local girls here in Turbaco, Colombia have great aspirations to be chefs of international cuisine, doctors, and everything inbetween. Wendy (17), second from left, wants to be a nurse and Yuriko (10), third from left, wants to be a doctor. English is emphasized in school and at the local public university in Cartagena. In order to graduate from the university they have to pass a rigorous English test. Desipte this, many of the girls have a hard time with pronunciation and speaking and many do not know the alphabet from memory. We´re practicing as a group and the girls are already showing great progress.
