Natalie shares with you her incredible week on the GVI Childcare Program
Voice from the field, May 31, 2013 - Natalie
Hello my name is Natalie, I'm a GVI volunteer in
the Childcare program at the Ludoteca. I am in my second week.
Each day can be so different here. One particular
day began at 2:50am to attend an ancient Mayan
canoe offering ceremony in Xel-Ha.
It was a 2 hour round trip by bus
which was only made possible thanks to GVI arranging free tickets! Once home, I
had breakfast and headed off to my Spanish lesson for the morning where I've
met lots of people from all over the world. After lunch, myself and another
volunteer (now friend) went to book our day trip to Chicen Itza ruins (one of
the seven wonders of the world).
Then last but no means least, we went to the
Ludoteca to volunteer with the amazing niños (children) for the afternoon:
which even from the day we already had, no one could resist. This is also where
the niños introduced me to chilli mix sprinkled onto fruit...yum.
Around 9:30pm after dinner, I fell into bed
exhausted, but a wonderful exhaustion.
