Saturday July 25, went to the cooperative detodas, but we had a little incident, we arrived late,because of the traffic and the parade of guayaquil and the streets were closed.

We arrive at the cooperativa at 10am, and the socias were waiting for us. We started with training etiquette and we teach how to present and the priorities at the moment of introduce somebody taking into account their professional status,age, sex, etc ... also the formulas presentations and how to respond when someone presents you with another person. And the correct way to sit.

To reinforce what they learned we introduce some activities and situations, and they represent the proper way to introduce someone. Finally, when we finished the training and shared the snacks with the socias, they thanked us because we taught the formulas of etiquette, because they have a lot of meetings with the directors of the cooperativa and they are gonna apply these formulas in their meetings.

For us was gratifying that the members thanked us, because we realized that we were covering their needs of socias and they are learning and also we interact with the socias and the feedback that we have with the members after every training we give.

When we got to the cooperativa Detodas, the good thing is we saw more and new socias. Also a socia yanina, took his little son Aron. We began our english class with nice to meet you, nice to meet you to, what is your name?

At first it was difficult for the socias, but reinforced with orally exercises they can feel more comfortable. The exercises we did with them we review past lessons that they learned. We write in the board the translation and pronunciation of the phrases.

Comparing with the class, we give all our skills to help socias, and we hope that the training we are giving be a great help for the socias.

When we arrive to the cooperativa, were the same socias last Saturday and we continue with the english class that Saturday, but we notice that the socias had forgotten some things and we strengthen with them..

But the good thing that the members were excited to strengthen and repass the class, we made with them a lot of exercise to a better understandig.

With the review could cover all the doubts, and every Saturday we feel proud of the results of the socias, because we see the enthusiasm of the socias to learn; and also we are learning to help without receiving anything in return and that is what I have learned to value and also we receive affection of gratitude.

New class we start anda was English, because the socias requested and they want to learn.

It was the first time that we start with English class, but the sad part was that only attended 4 socias it was a little sad, despite this we continue with our classes and it was nice because we could make it more personalized.

In this class we began by teaching greetings, presentations, for example: saying his name, what language they speak and forms of greetings. In my point of view of the English class for the socias in their interest to learn, and because they have micro empresas someday somebody of English-speaking visit their business and they can defend themselves.

To teach the class was very cool because we saw the enthusiastic of the socias to learn and participate, asking every question they had. While for some socias is difficult but they keep trying.

Now that we have several saturdays to the Cooperative, we see these activity to share a little of what we know and be able to help socias.

Cognitive Surplus

My personal opinion on this video is that it is true what they said, because many a lot of our free time we are consumers and not take advantage of our experience and skills to support others.

Upon seeing the video I think that we must maximize our free time, sharing with others in the little time that we sometimes have. First, if I am a consumer at any point, but I also recognize that free time that I have, I am predisposed to share and be productive by sharing my knowledge with my potential and to give to others.

Social responsibility that we are doing, of course that made us change our way of seeing things and be able to contribute with little our ability to invest our time helping people.
