Imagine.
Our English students give presentations in class to practice. Every day, someone sings. Tonight, Moises surprised us by bringing in instruments. He played the piano and Enrique played the guitar for "Imagine." Everyone joined in.
I admit it. I got choked up.

English class

Meredith, Kellan, Adam and Yacarely with some of our English class. Ileana, in orange and in front, owns a cafetÃn, or bar and restaurant in town and was motivated to learn English because there have been times when Geneseo students have come in and she couldn't communicate. Manuel, in the back on the right in the orange shirt, is a teenager who rides a bike taxi for work during the week, so he goes to school on Saturday. He hopes to go to America to work. Moses is a musician who wows the class with his versions of songs, Trinidad is a lawyer and engineer. Other students are hair stylists, construction workers, directors of nonprofit organizations that work with cattle, agriculture, nutrition and other improvements and veterinarians.
