[CX-L] Chile Debate Opportunity

[Alfred C. Snider]

As you may know I have been to Chile twice as a debate trainer. They have
developed an excellent debate program at the secondary school and university
levels, and there is some debating as well in the middle grades.

Here is an excellent opportunity to meet with and interact with some outstanding
high school debaters from Chile. This is a great opportunity for any program
but especially if you have Spanish speaking students or are in one of
America?s many communities where Spanish is often spoken.

There are four of them with their teacher. They won a national tournament and
the prize was a trip to the USA. They are seeking a host for their visit
sometime in February. The visit would last about four or five days. Dates are
flexible in February.

They are seeking a home stay opportunity. During their visit they would like to
stage one or more debates in Spanish and would like to see how your debate
program operates and also see the town you live in. They have funds for plane
tickets and food. While they speak English they are uncomfortable debating in
English, but would appreciate any training available and would love to observe
at a tournament, if possible. They are very flexible about accommodations and
activities.

They would like to buy tickets soon.

If you are interested please get back to me.
