After a long 24 hours of travel we made it safely on Sunday night. Although we were tired from all of the traveling we were excited for the few days to come. On Monday, Alex's parents took us on a tour of the city and shared with us some of the history of the city. We had our orientation with Alex and Jenny at their home. This was a nice time to get to know the family and for some, catch up.
On Tuesday we worked on our lesson plans for the rest of the week at school. Once we finished planning some of us got to hang out with Alex and Jenny's children for games of tennis and tag while the others of us got to work on sorting books for the school library.
Wednesday was our first day of teaching the children at the school. Some of us worked at the newer campus and the others stayed at the older campus. The children were a little shy at first, but by the end of the day we saw them opening up. We did things from singing songs, reading stories, doing a boat building challenge to talking about different types of animals and creating animal masks. It was awesome to see how Father let us interact with the students throughout the day.
We are really excited to see what the following days have in store for our group as well as the students and staff at the school. We will be sure to update more in the future and thank you for supporting and keeping our group in your thoughts while we work at the school!
We are having some technical difficulties posting pictures. Hopefully we will have it figured out for the next post.
