English For Planet Earth

While working in La Alberca, we were approached by the Program Director, Jason McDonald, and the Master of Ceremonies, Amelia Gain, to work in a different capacity.  Pueblo Inglés had hired a Spanish media firm to create a new website advertising the language program.  We were asked to sign waivers and a few of us were invited to take part in starring in commercial!  The commercial is featured on a website and later it will be launched into space aboard a satellite!


Look for Mark, Phil, Josephine, Jason, Genevieve, and me with my very cheesy line in this Pueblo Inglés commercial:


"At Pueblo Inglés we asked ourselves a question:
Why don't all of Earth's inhabitants share a common language?
Why not one as beautiful as this?

Do not hold back.
Do not let a day go by without having grown a little
without having been happy,
without having expanded your dreams.
Do not let yourself be overcome with despair.
Do not let anybody take away your freedom 
to express yourself, as it is your right.
Do not give up on making your life something extraordinary.
Do not stop believing that words and poetry can change the world.
Come what may, our essence remains intact.
We are creatures full of passion.
Life is a desert and an oasis.
It tears us down.  It hurts us.
It teaches us.  It make us protagonists of our own story.
And even if the winds blow against us... the mighty work goes on.
You can contribute a verse.

A language like this deserves to go far.
From a small village to all corners of the world,
and even beyond our planet.
