Our Peru In-Country Agent gives an update about her first meeting with the April GapBreak students, just arrived in Cusco. All students are doing well and keen to practice their Spanish! I saw the group today at Ccorao. I arrived early for our first weekly meeting just to see how they were all going with their classes and construction. For their second class they were doing really well - all of them had the kids under control in PE and computing which surprised me a little this early on! The others were working hard on construction - doing a lot of digging and moving dirt to level the area outside the new building and also putting together bamboo sections for the ceiling of the building.
I spoke with them all after they finished classes. We talked about their classes - they are all happy with their allocated grades and are comfortable with the timetable. They all agreed they will feel more prepared next week when they have some more time to prepare and now that they have an idea of the level of the kids.
We talked about construction and Arlich gave them some direction on what is left to be done this week (tomorrow) - finish leveling around the building so it is ready for a concrete pathway, start leveling the floor inside and finish the ceiling. They were all comfortable with this. I reminded them all that they are working at altitude so they need to take regular breaks and drink lots of water.
We talked about their families and they love them. Sounds like they are being well and truly spoilt which is lovely and enjoying practicing their Spanish on their families. They are also planning to do something special for their host mums next weekend for Mother's Day.
thanks
Lauren
