Monday evening was Open House and Meet the Teachers Night at Veterans Memorial Junior High where our two eighteen year-old clients, Jeremias and Jairo, are enrolled in ESL classes. Sister Therese, their mentor here at La Posada, met their teachers and received glowing reports of their class participation  and conduct. 

Jeremias, who only received  a second grade education in Guatemala, is now reading Tolstoy’s, “Anna Karenina.”  One of the first expressions Jeremias learned in English and frequently uses at La Posada is “I’m impressed,”  and so are we – at his progress!
