Thanks to Eva V from south side of Chicago and organizing her class (selected 8 students) to talk with a group of kids in a school in DT Severin.
It was very interesting since the kids in DT Severin are able to speak Spanish, Romanian, and English and the school on the south-side were majority hispanic. There were multiple conversations in English and Spanish and the Romanian children demonstrated a little bit of Romanian to the south siders.
This was actually a very intersting experience for everybody including myself.

Comunitate de Rrom - Dudasu-Simian 7 km from Severin
Domnul Mihai Otto is a Rrom representative that I was fortunate to meet since I am trying to learn and experience what I can with the Rrom population. He is helping me organize a tour that will hopefully take place October 17 - 19th where I take three other volunteers with me to ask questions and try to see what they think and feel, especially the kids to see what their dreams are. We plan on visiting a school in each community and then the community itself.
