Frist Day at School


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.
