On Saturday April 25, the 3rd regional meeting of TESOL Spain Castilla La Mancha, was held in Puertollano. After reading an article that I had published in the newsletter of TESOL Spain about my stay with Asha-Kiran in India, Anita Lutterkort, regional coordinator, asked me to give a short speech and share my experiences, impressions and conclusions from my participation as a teacher at Yashodhara Home with my colleagues - an experience that changed both my approach to my classes and my outlook on life.

Volunteer with Asha-Kiran
“Silvia Benitez gave a talk about her experiences in India, giving the teachers a very personal vision of her stay at Yashodhara. How different it must be to teach a class there! Without any high technology but being supported by the good heart of her peers and a burning desire to learn from her students. We should take note and reflect on our daily lives, so full of objects that we sometimes forget that human relationships are the most valuable thing we have.”
