Today the students provided two of their caregiver presentations related to language and literacy development, at Armonizar. These presentations had been prepared by the students, in Spanish, prior to leaving. The students worked hard at relaying the information, responding to the questions and comments from parents, and interacting with the children, despite the obvious language barriers! They received a warm welcome from the audience and it was clear that everyone was interested and motivated to apply the strategies provided. Adriana rose to the challenge of providing on-line translation. Sometimes the other students (and clinical educators!) experienced some frustration at knowing the information but not being able to easily communicate it to the parents.
To relieve our translation fatigue, we finished the day with a trip to the Catacombs of the San Fransiscan Monastery!
