"It's better to give than to receive"


Hello folks,

As you might learn today in class, we will discussing charitable causes in our class this week. Tomorrow (Tuesday Dec 2) each one of you will give a short presentation describing a foundation that helps others. There are many charity organizations in Colombia so I figure it would be very nice to learn more about them. Check the link I added to your name and find out the name of the organization, who they help, how they raise money and any other information you consider important. All of the links offer an English version so make sure to read that one. Take care and enjoy your search

I enjoyed so much our class. We finished the unit and we discussed about how we can help to "heal" the world.
On other hand, we began to talk about charity, although (as the majority of the book´s topics) this is no a very Colombian topic I think it will help us to improve our English level.

Finally, Willy I´m interested in taking the IELTS (International English Language System), but as you must know it´s very expensive, so when I do it, I wanna go very well trained, I´ll be very grateful for all your help.
