Newbies!!!
Voice from the field, Jun 07, 2013 - Friedrich
As new volunteers, we had our first Ludoteca
visit on Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday it rained all day and so the school was closed. The rain was so heavy that the streets were more like
rivers. As the Ludoteca was closed, the other volunteers and I were working on
the recycling project for the Environment Day Expo. We're making a disco ball
out of tetra-packs (milk cartons), beermats (coasters) out of bottle caps,
magnets out of beer tops, key chains and jewellery out of water bottles and
beer cans.
Thursday was the very first day of work in
the Ludoteca, the kids are amazing. They greet you with hugs and kisses, and
even though my Spanish is not quite perfect, little conversations and jokes
happen anyways. The volunteers just started to give simple English classes to
the class, which they love. We taught them colours and animals this week. The
weather is getting hotter day by day and I just may have my first visit to the
beach very soon!
