I apologize for the lateness of the post.
It's a bit tricky to write blogs without a computer and constant wifi.
Some Quick updates:
Getting sick is inevitable.
The whole house is pretty comfortable with each other and their bathroom issues.
The weather in Piura is constantly hot and humid.
The fan is literally my best friend.
We have a bakery down the street for us.
The mosquitos are what we have termed "Hangry" They are vicious and huge.
There are dogs everywhere.
Ok now to projects:
We went to a rural school called Santa Sara.
This is where the whole corruption and politics really bothered me.
We began painting the inside of the wood frame add on to the school room.
We have gone back a few more times to fix it up and to teach the kids about recycling.
Their entire playground is covered in trash.
Ana headed up the project, we taught them a song, did an activity, and then had them go out and pick up trash and put them in the appropriate bin.
They are so smart!
Next we toured a few orphanages to see if they needed any help.
My favorite project that we have started is teaching English classes at another rural school.
Our class is very intelligent and it's so fun to hear them learn and pronounce words.
They love to ask us questions.
We showed them a $1 and they were so fascinated by it.
They love to ask if we are married or single.
And one boy learned the words Kiss me from a book.
He loves to use that on us ;)
