Year in Review: 2016 SOL Successes

SOL has provided over 863 hours of Spanish language instruction to 66 clients.

We continued partnering with Trinity Lutheran Seminary (TLS) with the Spanish for Ministry curriculum.

One student said that, "Eric was a fantastic professor!  (He is) extremely personable and very effective."  Another said that his class "was a brilliant class that aided in (his) knowledge and understanding for Spanish."

Check out our additional successes below that we are proud to share with all of you who make it possible to go to work each day, continuing to love what we do.  ¡Feliz 2017!  AS we like to say around SOL, "Hope to see you in class muy pronto!"
