Dear Team,
Our beloved Mafer Bucheli is recognized this week!
We had the pleasure of walking into Mafer's Writer's Workshop. It was mind blowing to see her students absolutely engaged and laser focused publishing their opinion essays. Every learner was empowered and knew what to do, had the different tools to be successful, and especially, had their teacher sitting next to them. Student by student, essay by essay, Mafer was there to give feedback and support them every step of the way.
We truly admire your craft Mafer! You are a great example of strong connections and academic rigour perfectly blended. Keep it up!
Enjoy your weekend ❣️
Moni & Marga ✨
