Durante el \u00faltimo mes, he sido tutor de estudiantes extranjeros adultos que est\u00e1n comenzando clases de ESL en el Instituto Internacional Dorcas en Providence, que ofrece una variedad de programas para refugiados\/inmigrantes.<\/p>\n
Al principio, ten\u00eda dos mujeres, pero en tres semanas, \u00a1eran cinco! Paso dos horas a la semana con ellas, complementando sus clases regulares con conversaciones b\u00e1sicas. Sus or\u00edgenes son tan diversos como su vestimenta: Cabo Verde, Eritrea, Afganist\u00e1n, Siria y Puerto Rico. Pasamos el tiempo conversando de forma pr\u00e1ctica (presentaciones, compras, ir al banco, etc.). Tambi\u00e9n cantamos canciones sencillas en ingl\u00e9s, que les encantan.<\/p>\n
Me ha conmovido su vitalidad y su entusiasmo por aprender, a pesar de las dolorosas cargas del trauma que llevan a causa de la guerra, la separaci\u00f3n familiar y otras situaciones desgarradoras. El hecho de que seamos \u201csolo las chicas\u201d en la sala les permite una espontaneidad que no pueden tener en sus clases mixtas. Las que vienen de Oriente Medio comparten alegremente la comida con todos y el grupo la describe en cinco idiomas. Su coraje y su esperanza son una luz en nuestros tiempos pol\u00edticos oscuros.<\/p>\n
Desde 1921, el Centro Dorcas [que lleva el nombre de una de las santas mujeres de los Hechos, \u201cllena de buenas obras\u201d] ha ofrecido una variedad de experiencias de aprendizaje y alfabetizaci\u00f3n, que incluyen educaci\u00f3n b\u00e1sica, preparaci\u00f3n para la ciudadan\u00eda, asistencia laboral y servicios para refugiados e inmigrantes. En la actualidad, est\u00e1 a la vanguardia de los esfuerzos de Rhode Island para dar la bienvenida a los refugiados recientes y brindarles servicios b\u00e1sicos. El Centro es un lugar animado y concurrido, ca\u00f3tico y colorido, que empodera a los reci\u00e9n llegados con autosuficiencia en una cultura desconocida. Estoy agradecida de hacer mi parte para ofrecerles un rostro acogedor y amigable. El tiempo que paso all\u00ed me recuerda la libertad que doy por sentado: \u00a1una gracia y un desaf\u00edo!<\/p>\n
