heh only have a few minutes...will talk about the kids i work with
there are 25 or so there that i help with hw and arts and crafts they range from 8-15 yrs. theysleep, learn, eat, wash clothes, etc...in one concrete building with 2 floors. they only have running water upstairs, and the bathroom on the bottom floor doesnt work. the kids arenormal little boys who like to fight get dirty and play games. my job is to make sure they do their hw first. i have trouble understanding them because they speak so quickly and with slang. they LOVE colouring books, and right when we get in the door they ask [senorita, senorita, can we please colour now....please senorita* heh they are very cute. they greet us iwth a kiss on the cheek, as do all peruvians. i like this way of greeting. a few boys are dedicated to learning english. so instead of colouring gillian teaches them basic english. it is a blast really. we made cards the other day, three-d ones. very cool!
the place i am living is great
its a store in front with bread dessert and then randoms (cleaning supplies, soda, water) and then a family lives there and rents to 15 students....man okay thats all the time i have but have much more to say
