Laura is 20 years old (21 on Valentine's Day) and is currently a student in Leon studying languages. She is also tryin to learn French because she wants to be able to translate for more languages. She has never left Nicaragua, but has family in Miami that she has tried to get to visit but was turned down and will reapply later this year. She has been working with Teresa primarily. She is quieter than the others but is very helpful and will answer any question we have. She is very sweet and is always studying to get better at speaking English. When we are in the van rides between villages, she is studying; it shows because she is improving everyday.
reading books to the young children
- Laura helped read the bible story books that FBC of Boone purchased for the children that were written in Spanish
- She read the backs of the frisbees to the children that Mama Jane donated
- She helped Dan interpret the rules of volleyball to the kids once he and Big Dad finished setting up thee net
- She went with Diego to purchase 60 pairs of clothing for $1 a piece at a thift (2nd hand store on the last day)
She too has email so i know Teresa and hopefully others will keep in touch with her and continue to hope she makes it to the USA.
