A great place, a great opportunity!!

Hello My Dear Friends!

On July 27, I started working at El Camino Academy. As soon as I step in the school I had the best feeling about the place. We have been in orientation meetings all these days, and I have enjoy every single minute of them. We have learn so much about the vision, the value cores, school motto, doctrinal statement, philosophy of education, and mission of the school. The school bases are very Christian strong, and that makes a huge difference in the environment that we are working. All teachers, administrators, and staff are very approachable and that as well make the work environment very pleasing.

I am very excited to work with the Special Ed. team, which at El Camino they called Learning Center. The school has several kids that need a lot of academic and social support, so that is what I am praying to God to use me in the way He wants to help the kids to achieve their academic and social struggles. There is a lot of work to do in this area at El Camino, unfortunately the Special Education in Colombia it is not as strong as in the States, and we need to work hard to accomplish our goal to help the kids to be successful. Our team is based on four different people.  One, the Director of the school who is working very close with all of us. Two, our soon to arrive graduate teacher in Special Ed. Three, a mom that has passion for kids with special needs, has tons of experience, and loves the kids like her own. Four, me who also has passion to help this kids to be successful and has experience working in the classroom and one-on-one.  It is a little team, but the love and passion that we all have to help the kids, and with the help and blessings of God we will accomplish our goals.

Soon I will post pictures of the school, but you are also welcome to see the website and learn about El Camino and its mission. Please feel free to visit http://www.eca.edu.co/

Also, let me tell you something very exciting about this opportunity, not only I am going to be working with the kids at the school but also we are having the opportunity to be part of different ministries. The school really encourage us to be part of different activities after school or the weekends. We are having bible studies, Spanish classes, English classes for parents, Bible classes, and many others projects in the school.

I hope you enjoyed reading this new post, please feel free to comment!!

Love Olga.
