These workers are getting ready to return to their families in Mexico. This was the last English class for the summer of 2008. They are happy to leave, and they are looking forward to once again holding their loved ones in their arms. They all are talking about the FIESTA that's waiting for them.



Eager Migrant Workers are learning ESL from the Even Better Foundation's volunteer.
You can help too! Contact me! We need many more English teachers for the many more locations. (no experience is necessary).

Mr. Bear

O.K., today he will not eat us.
phew.... thank God!

Lake Angus

Runaway canoe.
Silence... and a little bird's chirping here and there... maybe a leaf has fallen behind me...silence again.

He remembered that I took a shot of him in front of a hay stack, and he asked Dee to try a similar shot. I like the colours.
