Since the beginning of Impact Ministries in Guatemala, I have been involved with the sponsoring of a student or students. Les was the principal of the Christian school in Brandon when I met him and Rita twenty-six years ago. I was a teacher at the school. That is how I met them.
I came to Tactic in August 2013. In the first year I taught English to adult Impact staff and high school students (Grades 8 – 12) in one of the Christian schools (Chijicorral). I also taught Tim Peters Kindergarten in English. This year I'll teach English to middle school students and tutor Tim Peters, while I continue to develop an English language arts curriculum for the Vida Schools.
My passion is to teach. I taught in Canada and overseas for thirty years. I enjoy teaching the Guatemalan students. It is wonderful to be able to develop a relationship with them. The Guatemalan people are wonderful; they accept you for who you are. They are very appreciative of Impact and the short/long-term missions people with whom they come in contact. And, they are an example to North Americans in their worship of the Lord. "It is my passion is to teach and I truly enjoy working with the Guatemalan people and the short-term mission teams in Guatemala."
