¡Somos Vecinos!

This month saw the kick-off of our latest program!



The program, called Somos Vecinos (We are Neighbors), is a language and culture exchange, allowing relationships and understanding to build between our neighbors who speak Spanish and those who speak English.









The classes are held on Thursday evenings from 6:00-8:15 in the Japanese Congregational Church next to our new building. We are excited that this program has already given us the opportunity to partner with our neighbors.








As the students come in, they are divided up into those who are learning English and those who are learning Spanish. After spending an hour in their own language groups learning, there is an hour for the whole group to come together with guided activities, practice what they learned, build relationships, and interact across cultural lines.

We are excited to have the chance to start building relationships in our new neighborhood. We will be beginning a 10-week new program in fall 2008. If you’re interested in finding out more, feel free to email Emily at emily@casa-latina.org.
