By Help Colombia | Direccion Help Colombia
From January to April 2025, we successfully delivered English classes every Saturday at the Centro Cultural Moravia. Each week, three different groups of students (approximately 45 children in total) eagerly gathered to participate in 45-minute interactive lessons led by our amazing teacher Alejandra Ospina, supported by multilingual volunteers from around the world.
The energy, growth, and engagement of the children have been remarkable. Each class not only includes academic learning but also cultural exchange, joy, and nourishment, as each child receives a snack and shares moments with the volunteers.
The sense of community and mutual inspiration has touched the hearts of everyone involved, and we continue to witness the powerful impact of this initiative in Moravia.

"We had another very productive and inspiring Saturday at the Centro Cultural Moravia. The English classes led by Alejandra Ospina, a tireless educator, and supported by multilingual volunteers from all over the world, are enriching, with well-prepared and enthusiastic lessons. Without a doubt, the people of this community continue to honor their original purpose of moving forward and building meaningful lives. It’s my second Saturday as a volunteer, and I’m looking forward to many more. The students are amazing, respectful, grateful, and very polite. Their faces are full of hope and passion for developing their language skills. Today, the community came together and organized a very colorful and well-executed performance that pleasantly surprised me as I was leaving. Let’s keep up the great work!
