I visited a number of these AmeriCorps projects. and before that. the national service projects that were the pilot projects authorized before this program. I have seen young people in a small town of Vidalia. GA. helping teach Spanish to young students that did not understand basic Spanish. Most importantly. these students were filling a huge void where there were no Spanish teachers in the community by helping immigrants learn to speak English. because they had no way of learning without someone who could converse with them. I have seen young people also in the same community and in Thomson. GA. helping in nursing homes in crucial kinds of occupations with our elderly citizens.
