VI. VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY IN TACOMA
A volunteer opportunity at the YWCA of Pierce County.
Charlas para la Mujer takes place one Friday afternoon
each month as gathering place for Latino women in the
Tacoma community. Children accompany the participants
of this group, making childcare necessary. Volunteers
play with and care for the children under the
supervision of a staff member in a safe and
constructive manner. I think that local Spanish
students would be great candidates for these
positions!
Volunteers are needed the third Friday of each month,
from 4:00 to 6:00 pm. The next meeting will be
November 16. This would be a great way for students
to give back to their local community while being
provided with a hands-on opportunity to practice their
Spanish-speaking skills. Perhaps extra credit could
be offered to interested students.
Please let me know at your earliest convenience
whether or not this is an opportunity that you are
interested in extending to your students. You may
reach me at (253) 272-4181, ext. 264 or at
raxlund@ywcapiercecounty.org.

VII. FEATURE FILM "La virgen de los sicarios"/"Our
lady of the Assassins"
"The writer Fernando Vallejo returns to Medellin, the
city of his childhood, after an absence of over thirty
years. Fernando meets Alexis in a gay brothel.
Love begins to blossom between Fernando and Alexis.
But their love has no future, it is condemned before
the fact by the harsh reality around them.
Anyone who crosses his path can be a possible victim.
Alexis needs no reason to kill: like an Angel of
Death, he openly fires on anybody who rubs him the
wrong way.
Bound by their passion for each other, they wander
from church to church, murder to murder, each day
their love growing stronger.
Then one day, a passing motorcyclist shoots Alexis
down. "
