Stelpian Roger Hazelden Teaches Children the English Language

Has Roger found his real call? He teaches English to Stelpe children.

For the second year already, Roger Hazelden together with his wife Valerie teaches the beginnings of his native language to the youngest children - pre-school group of 5 and 6 year olds. His lessons are all well planned, easy to understand and entertaining.

In co-operation with the non-governmental organization Stelpite, Roger has extended the availability of his lessons to literally everyone interested. Once a week he does the teaching on Stelpite premises, always attracting a number of inquisitive children.

Roger and Valerie participate actively in the community life of Stelpe. In 2007, they organized a week-long trip of the whole class 8 of Stelpe School to England. This year, the they invited the Con-Brio choir to visit Latvia, and co-ordinated the tour. They are always open and willing to help the school and the people of the community.
