First Day of School

6-1-09
We were warned that the kids would hang all over us but now we know how the swine flu spread so fast. HANDS EVERYWHERE. It was an experience. We went to all the different classrooms and intorduced ourselves to all the kids. It was so impressive how Jill handled herself. Learning a new language is difficult but when 20 snot nosed kids are yelling gibberish it´s even mas dificil. We go to class from 9-1:30 so we are trying to think of an afterschool project we can work on to help benefit the school. The public schools in Chimbote are terrible and the private ones are very expensive. The school we work at is a lower cost private school (some kids even attend for free) with goals to teach all areas. After school I had a giant mound of spaghetti, chicken, and rice with a side of salad waiting for me. My host mom knows whats up (no Grandmom Tino but delicious).
