Teenager helps Learning to See Project by participating and exchanging language

Zoe Paarlberg, shown here when she was 13, has been assisting in the Learning to See Projects in Mexico for the past two years. Her help has been instrumental in connecting with the kids of the village. She helps with all aspects of the projects, helping the kids to use their cameras and behind the scenes, editing photos, making posters and displays for the projects. Through this blog and through Facebook, Zoe hopes to be able to stay connected to her friends in Mayto and to continue learning Spanish. Post messages to her here, in Spanish and English!

Cultural Exchange

Here is a link below to a flickr page. This page contains images made by Mayto, Mexico students who participated in a Learning to See program in January.
PLEASE make comments, ask questions, and create dialog, in Spanish and in English about the images made of Mayto, a small village on the west coast of Mexico. The titles are vague to give an opportunity to ask questions, make observations and share what you may or may not know about the pictures. It is an opportunity for Ms. Modern's Spanish students in Portsmouth, NH to use an image made in a Spanish speaking country to practice using their knowledge of language to share in an exchange with all interested parties, especially those in Mayto!

Through the month of April, the Portsmouth Public Library is hosting the exhibition, Learning to See, Mayto, Mexico. Images made by local students from this remote village on the west coast of Mexico. The exhibit was first seen in Mexico and also a book of the images is available. Stay tuned for conversation, in Spanish and English among students and fellow travelers.

And, if you can't make the exhibit, you can purchase the book and at the same time make a small donation to the Learning to See programs!
