Source text - English INTRODUCTION
Foster Grandparents and RSVP volunteers are the caring adults who provide extra attention and encouragement to children in preschool programs. This workshop provides tips and opportunities for discussion on the best ways volunteers can help support these children.
This workshop is an introduction to volunteers serving children ages 3-5 in preschool programs; however, those who have had extensive contact with young children or experienced preschool volunteers will also have something to learn and share. It is assumed that volunteers will attend, or have attended, an orientation at the preschool station where they are introduced to the classroom and learn about program policies.
This workshop includes a brief lecture, a small group exercise, and a short reflection activity. It is recommended that you do a full 2-hour workshop to allow more time for group discussion. Remember that you do not need to present this workshop “as is”. Modify the session to fit your participants’ needs and interests, and the services available to children in your area.

Bio
I am a US citizen raised abroad, mainly in Ecuador. I am fully bilingual and am a native speaker of both English and Spanish. I work as a freelance translator to and from both languages. I have studied at a university level in English at Lewis & Clark College and in Spanish at Universidad San Francisco de Quito in Ecuador as well as La Universidad de Alicante in Spain. My degree is in Hispanic studies, which essentially is Spanish language with an emphasis on literary and cultural studies of Latin America and Spain. I specialize in translating documents related to education and I have worked with schools and educators mainly in Ecuador. One example would be translation of a training document prepared at the request of the Early Childhood Director at a US-accredited school In Ecuador. I also work with translations in fields ranging from advertising, journalism, and cinema to sports, tourism, and music. I do proofreading of all the same fields. I also work as a subtitler and reviewer at Amara.com.
My background as a “Third Culture Kid” (a person who has been raised in one or more countries outside of their mother nation) means I have not only interacted and grown up with people of numerous nationalities and cultures, but I myself have been a second language learner and part of a cultural minority. I have worked as an educator with Outward Bound Ecuador, and also as an office assistant in the Lewis & Clark College foreign languages department. At Outward Bound, my co-workers and I worked as a team to develop effective and meaningful educational activities for camp participants. I also was required to effectively and promptly execute the orders of the camp coordinator, along with all policies and procedures.
