Students and teachers gathered for one final Meeting point last Monday, on the night before Umarela, to share some coffee, cookies and conversation and to see which lucky student would take home a new Mercurio bicycle.
It's still early here. At this point, it could be anyone in the room.
The moment of truth finally arrived. It's Adamaris Escobar! Congratulations.
A few more students walked home with smaller prizes.
And everyone in the room has made further progress in mastering their second language and that's the best prize of all.
To my right is Isaac, the man who really makes The Meeting Point roll. Most of these pictures were taken by him. If you don't see him in many pictures, it's because he's the one on the other side of the camera. It was after dark when we finished so Isaac strapped the bicycle to the roof of his Volkswagon and made sure our winner made it home safely.
Ride safely, Adamaris. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone.
