Hi. I’m working on a gardening project. We run a vegetable garden next to the local hospital so we can grow fresh vegetables for the patients. I like working with my hands and it’s great to work outside. Some of the patients also help in the garden.

 

Richard:

Hello everyone. I work with street children, mainly teenagers. I talk to them in the street and try to help them. We also run a backery together.

The kids are great and they are teaching me real street Spanish.
