ONE SPECIAL DAY

Here I am, joying my year abroad. Today was for me an special day , that i would never forget.
 I woke up , at 7 am , like i always do. I refreshed my face with some water, I dressed up, and i go out of my little room. "My children" (how i called them now) were already waiting for me in the classroom, but first we had to have breakfast. Afeter that we start with the activities. The day go on and everything was normal. However, in one moment to the other one of my sutudents stars to cry. It was a young girl that was always smiling, i coudn't imagine what could have happened to her. I let the others students to go out, and take a break in the yard, and i went to talk to her.

It was difficult because she didn't want to think so much to speak me in english and i really don't know anything about the native language. Anyway, she managed to tell me that her mother was really ill and she might be not survive. I was shoked and i did't know what to say her... how could i consolate that poor girl? the best that i though was explaning her something that i really believe: i told her that no maters what, her mother will be always with her because she really love her. She touched me with her pure innocence when she came up to me suddenly and hugged me tight and said, “I love you teacher, thank you” I found it really heart warming. It is something that will always be an unforgettable moment in my life.

New experiencies

MY FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF ACCRA CITY. . .

              When I land at the airport of Accra and go out I first saw what I was expecting to see. A capital city, a lot of movement, a place full of life. But then I looked more carefully, there were plenty of different details. There were a lot of people wearing strange clothes, women and men   caring basket in their heads and a lot of children caring babies in their backs.

          


  Somebody came to keep me, he introduced himself, his name was Andrew, he was from England, and he was also a volunteer. He seemed to be a very nice person. He explains to me that I was going to live in a center called “The Accra school, and that it were two other volunteers that I was going to meet.

          


  When we arrived at the school I couldn’t believe my eyes. There were so many children, all of them running here and there. Andrew showed me the school, it is very small for those children, and it is so neglected that at that moment it broke my heart. Andrew showed me my room, the kitchen and the library (where I am now). Then, I met Julie and Chris, the other volunteers who seem very nice too.

This last three days I have been adapting myself here. My work consists in create fun activities for the children to get involved and learn something about science or mathematics.  The classes are not very crowded and I have grown up children of 10-12 years old. They are amazing so I really have fun with them.
