Silvia has the essence of everyone's favorite aunt, greeting you with the hug of a lifelong friend. She is the owner of BYS Academy, an English school she founded in 2005 to create an affordable educational opportunity for the students of her neighborhood, two blocks from Estancia Ing. Pablo Nogués, right behind the small shopping center. Her laughter is the last thing that would tell you how close she came to losing all of it through an economic crisis and without government funding.
Now the school functions as a cooperative in tandem with Voluntario Global. Graduated students return as volunteer teachers to gain work experience for formal jobs. Their work is supplemented by volunteers from Voluntario Global, and this is where Victor and I enter.
