¡Hola! We started our day with delicious panquecas made by the wonderful Hotel Palacio Chico staff. They are wonderful! Then, Victor arrived to transport us to Camino Seguro. First we were brought to the sixth grade classrooms where we would tutor the children in english. Our job was to carry on a conversation with each student. Some groups were reluctant to use their english and talk with us, while other groups were extremely proud of their english speaking skills. It was surprising to us that the kids had such different attitudes when it came to classwork. This could be because of the different ranges of support students get from their families.
After lunch, we started our second project with the classes we met two days ago. Los niños greeted us with smiles and laughter – some even remembered our names. We noticed our spanish is improving and we are now able to communicate more effectively with the children. The girls especially enjoy interacting with the boys and joking about novias y novios (girlfriends and boyfriends).
We’re all now finding so many kids that we want to sponsor. Colby even jokingly said he would sponsor our group leader, Victor, if he was a student at Safe Passage.
Our group is really starting to click. It’s too bad we only have two days left. There are few moments without laughter. It’s so much fun to get to know these people who we normally wouldn’t interact with if it we’rent for this opportunity.
We want to thank our parents for allowing us to be a part of this amazing experience. It has been life-changing in so many ways. We miss all of you! We’re excited for our free day tomorrow – a macadamia nut farm adventure. Buenas noches.
