Teaching English in Italian Schools

I have been working with Public Affairs on Sigonella to provide service projects for the Catania missionaries as well as our Sigonella Branch.  Tuesday, November  13, was our designated day for  missionaries to teach English in an Elementary School. I checked out some library books from the Sigonella Base Library and we were off on a great adventure.  Following is the invitation and directions:

Just spoke with Ms Consoli, the Chairwoman for Education of the City of Pedara, who confirmed the school's availability to host a language interaction event in class with the elementary school children on Tuesday, November 13th. The project will last from 0930 to approximately 1300. The school will have refreshments for the volunteers. The name of the school is  "PLESSO GIUSEPPINA FARO" and is located in VIA SAN GIOVANNI BOSCO in PEDARA (the city's main square next to the Town Hall of Municipio) google map's address:

The parents made Italian desserts for refreshments and brought each dish with ingredients included.

Students are line up with their notebooks to get autographs of the English speaking teachers.

Quite an Italian spread of delicacies!  Needless to say we loved the homemade Italian delights!

We had a great experience, students asked for autographs, they were so excited to have native English speakers.  I just received a call requesting a return visit to the school.  What a great way to serve Italy!
