Hi La Casa Azul!
ReplyDeleteI am definitely interested in interning or volunteering at your establishment, particularly in a position like that of the School Programs Intern. Thing is: I am not back from college break until mid-May. Is there a chance that you might run a similar position, or, that I can apply to volunteer around this time frame?
Thanks so much,
Freda
