This past week was if
anything more hectic than my first
week here! With the team here from
Brampton each day felt super packed as we did what sometimes felt like three
days in one! Luckily I am finally
feeling better again and I was able to take part in all the fun and games :)
The class that I was
teaching in youth group this week was on Hygiene so we handed out little
packages with toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap, shampoo and a washcloth. It was fun to see the kids going through
their ‘regalos’ (gifts).
We drove around in a bus all week and the kids thought that it was great fun to hang off the back :)
This is what our bus looked like from the front...
We had a kick off
event on Thursday in a village called Las Flores where Gerry and Barb are just
starting out with youth group.
Everyone had a great time as we played pool noodle lacrosse and pretzel
and then the kids made a craft with a little bit about themselves and their
favourite things. This will help
Barb and Gerry to figure out their demographic for the village as well as help
them to keep all the kids straight :)
We finished the day off with a couple of pinatas...
On Friday we took the
morning off and went to play tourist in Antigua. It was lots of fun and very relaxing but it was a bit of a
strange change of pace to be shopping up a storm after seeing the poverty of
the villages.
We also took the time to visit some beautiful ruins that made me wish I had a real camera and a a few hours to explore!
This week I am looking
forward to things being a little bit quieter, hanging out with the kids,
teaching my Nutrition section at youth group, and having a normal week of
teaching English at CETEDI :)
