W<\/span>hile other kids of the Latinx community take interest in common sports of their culture, like soccer, Octavio, age 12, and Fernanda, age 10, have taken a different route and are expanding their interests by skiing with the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation (SVSEF).<\/span><\/p>\n

Although now living in Shoshone, Octavio at the time was 6 years old and attending Hemingway Elementary when he was introduced to the sport of skiing. With the help of Mimi Crocker, the director of finance and administration for the SVSEF, Octavio was able to receive help and feel safe to be a part of what can be a dangerous sport.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe were asked about our children and what they do outside of school,\u201d Fernando, Octavio\u2019s father, said. \u201cAnd because we didn\u2019t know anything about skiing, we were nervous for them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Octavio\u2019s sister also joined the SVSEF at the age of 6, which their parents explain has been an amazing experience for both of them.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis has been a totally different experience for and different from our Hispanic culture,\u201d Fernando said. \u201cBut it\u2019s also been beautiful to see them branch out and be a part of a new experience.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Octavio and Fernanda\u2019s family deeply appreciate SVSEF but, most specifically, Mimi Crocker, SVSEF executive director Scott Mcgrew, and all the coaches that work hard to teach these kids the art of skiing. <\/span><\/p>\n

NUESTRA VOZ CUENTA<\/b><\/p>\n

Mientras que otros ni\u00f1os de la comunidad latina se interesan por los deportes comunes de su cultura, como el f\u00fatbol, Octavio, de 12 a\u00f1os, y Fernanda, de 10, han tomado una ruta diferente y en ampliar sus intereses esquiando con la Fundaci\u00f3n de Educaci\u00f3n de Esqu\u00ed de Sun Valley (SVSEF).<\/p>\n

Aunque ahora vive en Shoshone, ID, Octavio en ese momento ten\u00eda 6 a\u00f1os y asist\u00eda a Hemingway Elementary cuando se introdujo en el deporte del esqu\u00ed. Con la ayuda de Mimi Crocker, Directora de Finanzas y Administraci\u00f3n, Octavio fue capaz de recibir ayuda y sentirse seguro de ser parte de lo que puede ser un deporte peligroso.<\/p>\n

\u201cNos preguntaron sobre nuestros ni\u00f1os y lo que hacen fuera de la escuela,\u201d dijo Fernando, el padre de Octavio. \u201cY como no sab\u00edamos nada sobre el esqu\u00ed, est\u00e1bamos nerviosos por ellos.\u201d<\/p>\n

La hermana de Octavio tambi\u00e9n se uni\u00f3 a SVSEF a la edad de 6 a\u00f1os para explicar lo que los padres han sido una experiencia incre\u00edble para ambos.<\/p>\n

\u201cEsta ha sido una experiencia totalmente diferente y diferente a nuestra cultura hispana,\u201d dijo Fernando. \u201cPero tambi\u00e9n ha sido hermoso verlos ramificarse y ser parte de una nueva experiencia.\u201d<\/p>\n

La familia de Octavio y Fernanda aprecia profundamente a SVSEF, pero m\u00e1s espec\u00edficamente, a Mimi Crocker, Scott Mcgrew, director ejecutivo de este programa, y a todos los entrenadores que trabajan duro para ense\u00f1ar a estos ni\u00f1os el arte del esqu\u00ed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
