When I did the OS in Colombia for the street kids, there were
virtually no English speakers. Since I don't speak Spanish, we
discussed my not opening the space at all. In the end, the sponsors
felt that having this person who came so far - me - be visible was
part of the creation of a welcoming space. So the approach we took
was that I'd say a sentence in English, then my partner, Andres
Agudelo, would say a paragraph in Spanish filling in all the details.
It worked.
