Mariachi dining to benefit Community ESL program Nov. 20
Mariachi Restaurant is a perfect spot to enjoy Mexican, Spanish and Latin American cuisine in Rehoboth Beach.
To benefit the Community English as a Second Language Program, Mariachi Restaurant will host a dine-and-donate event from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 20, at 14 Wilmington Ave., when patrons can support the program’s critical work in helping local non-native speakers improve their English skills. Owner Yolanda Pineda will donate a portion of the restaurant’s net profits earned from dine-in and takeout meal purchases throughout the day. Plenty of free parking is available near Mariachi.

Since 2004, the Community ESL Program has provided an environment for non-native speakers in the eastern Sussex County area to study English via morning or evening classes taught twice weekly by volunteer teachers. More than 120 students, each assigned to one of five proficiency levels, are enrolled in the current fall semester. Most students live and work in the Lewes-Rehoboth and eastern Sussex County areas, and they represent a broad range of home countries in Central and South America, eastern Europe, the Caribbean, Asia and the Middle East.
The Community ESL Program now offers classes at four campuses: Lutheran Church of our Savior in Rehoboth Beach, Margaret H. Rollins School of Nursing at Beebe Healthcare in Lewes, and in Milford at Avenue Methodist Church and Milford Public Library.
