What a thoughtful donation, Telegirl. It’s a thrill to watch someone else learn to ride. It’s nice that your class donated time to help those in need. You should be proud of yourself and your classmates.

Harper, skianduniaddict is a bit challenged here… perhaps you should use monosyllabic words to help him out:

Dictionary = “Look it up in a book”

I was blessed to be able to go and help out on this trip, as well as about 12 other parents/teachers. Telegirls classmates worked their butts off all week, and raised all the money for the trip themselves, over the past year. Whenever there was free time, those that could uni, would. It was such an incredible time to watch these kids uni in mexico, the trials lines, the focus, and the most rewarding was how they shared the uni’s with the mexican kids. There were no paved roads or sidewalks, so the learning was more difficult on the rough terrain.
By the third day, one of the boys had riding and freemounting down, awesome. The smile on his face was priceless. We left the school a 20" uni; they were very excited to have one. Harper, thanks for the kind words, telegirl really appreciated them.
Here is another pic of some of the older boys giving the 24" a go.
