Today was the first day in the schools. Some of us were at the secondary school and
some were at two different primary schools.
At the schools, we mostly observed, marked papers, and got our topics for
tomorrow. The schools had a very
different environment than the ones back home.
I know many of us were instantly pulled out of our comfort zones as the
language barrier became more real. The
afternoon consisted of working at the secondary school and watching/playing in
a futbol match. Christian, Ting and Lee
all played futbol with the secondary team.
They played their hardest, but their skills could not compare to the talent
of the students. While at the futbol
game, some stayed behind. A group of
young girls came by the house and participated in a dance party. At the end of which, Ikeizja taught them the
Macarena. After dinner, everyone
prepared for their lessons. Ideas were
passed back and forth and help was offered if needed. We all hope that our first lessons are a
success.
