First Week

Hello everyone! This week is going by fast. At the Fundacion, we actually haven't started tutoring yet because the directors (the Onas - who we live with) wanted to give the kids a week off from school before forcing them to get back to working hard again. Instead, yesterday we tried teaching the kids a song in English: Itsy Bitsy Spider. Who know it could've been so hard? The kids kept saying "beetsy beetsy spider" and "espite" instead of "spout." We are also performing a play tomorrow! My group is doing Blancanieves (Snow White) and another group is doing Lion King. I just hope that the kids who we cast in the roles yesterday show up tomorrow. Attendance varies day by day. Today, for example, I had to fill in as the handsome Prince that gets to kiss Snow White. We also are painting the inside of the Fundacion with kid-friendly murals. It is a very nice addition since the outside of the building is cinderblocks and the inside is very basic. I will try to attach pictures sometime but the internet is so slow here that uploading pictures is very difficult.

This weekend we will be going on excursions - I am excited!
