La memoria mía, que llegamos muchos con esa ilusión de salir adelante y nos acoge y nos da la oportunidad de salir adelante.
Yo he visto clases de ciudadanía que nace aquí en la biblioteca pública.
No sé muy bien el inglés, me defiendo, pero desde que comencé en el 2015 de diciembre del 2015 se han hecho como más de 164 personas.
Ciudadanas americanas que no saben nada de inglés, que se les dificulta.
De ahí me seguí integrando más a la comunidad, a participar de voluntariados.
Comencé con un una en un grupo que queríamos poner todo en español.
Más información.
De ahí empezó un grupo que se llama, que nos entrenaron aquí en la biblioteca pública.
Nos entrenaron que fue este navegador, nos enseñaron a llegar a la gente, cómo desenvolvernos, como desenvolvernos aquí, en él, en el pueblo, en la ciudad.
Pedir ayuda para la gente que está viniendo a decirle welcome a los nuevos countries que vienen, por ejemplo, en el 2017, 16, diez, 15, 16 yo encontré en el parqueadero de la iglesia unos niños jugando un día, dos días, tres días, todos con la misma ropa todos los días.
Un día me arrimé, ya eran las mañanas, arrimo y yo que que estaban que deberían de estar deseando.
No sabía ni inglés ni español y yo no sabía mucho inglés, ni mucho ni mucho swahili, ni que era el idioma de ellos.
Después me vine a dar cuenta de que era el idioma, entonces ellos me hacían así.
Entonces comencé a comunicarme con ellos y a guiarlos y ayudarles y todo.
Con estos jóvenes los llevé a adulto lengua y Center en esos días y les dieron ya para crismas, les dieron tarjeta que carteros pa qué su tarjeta?
Yo no sé, yo le dije tal día lo recojo, pero yo en la tarjetita porque no lo llevamos para Primero Supermarket y lo llevaba por todas las filas de comidas de y yo más cuando la Coca cola hay esa felicidad y todos cogieron su coca cola y ahí es cuando llegamos a la zona de vegetales y de frutas y eso la única que se lo guarda aquí, esa felicidad, ese brillo de ojos de esos jóvenes soy yo.
Ya ahí les enseñé cómo a coger la tarjeta, que con eso iban a pagar.
Fue algo muy lindo, que lindo.
