Continuing on from this post on 22nd March Tina & Jaime, her husband, spent time teaching school children at a school in Los Alcazares, Murcia on 23rd March.
The kids LOVED it! They were so interested &, no doubt, went home & told their parents all they'd learnt. We hope they did, we hope it makes some difference.
Here are some photographs taken of the day.
