Sarita Kids learn languages from AroundTheBloc.com


Sarita Kids learn languages, originally uploaded by zulma.

From memoir writer Stephanie Elizondo Griest



Stephanie Elizondo Griest
is an amazingly talented writer from Corpus Christi, Texas. As you may or may not know, Corpus, as locals affectionately call it, is only about an hour away by car from Kingsville.

Stephanie has lived all over the world and written memoirs of her travels and analysis of them in several books. She's written 100 Places Every Woman Should Go, Around the Bloc and her latest book Mexican Enough.

Professor Barraza invited Stephanie because she's bright, intelligent and most amazingly "a local."

Relating to Stephanie was easy. She was fun, accessible, and engaged them with sophisticated languages and exotic words that piqued the interest of our Art Camp Students.

By the end of the two weeks the children were so happy and confident they had learned so much in just two weeks that it was almost hard to say goodbye.
