Teaching a challenge but getting there!This email finds us very well, in a small internet cafe across the road from the greenland hotel and swimming pool in Swedru.
My first time here, and first internet in a while which I'm loving!
Teaching here is beyond a challenge.. Thought it was going to be
absolutely impossible on the first day but noticed amongst card-making
today that we finally have some control (trying to get them to stop
yelling and sit down) and I am proud to say our two classes officially
know four verses of 'the wheels on the bus'!
This week is very slow at school due to vacation and playing as opposed to
teaching.. We have just done what we can to have some sort of
lessons but mainly joined in playing and using up all our toys through
things like card making and running amok with balloons. Very entertaining
for everyone involved!
We saw Seth today and are going with him tomorrow after shcool (and the
Christmas party we planned) to visit a Swedru orphanage. Hopefully
Mon/tues/wed next week will be spent there by the two of us instead of at
the other school (we really wanted to experience an orphanage here) so
very much looking forward to that.
In brief, everything great!
