I started volunteering at an orphanage on Wednesday morning. All I have to do is play with some toddlers for an hour and a half. Sounds great to me! The kid's laughter reminds me of what it is to be truly happy. We get so caught up in the world that we forget true happiness and what it feels like. I could only dream of having the happiness of a small child. These children have no parents, but they don't quite understand the concept yet. I envy these children in many ways. As I keep adding to my schedule, I can't hep but thank God for all the many opportunities that I have been granted. I have yet to really branch out and see very much of this beautiful place, but I have already been blessed more than I ever could have imagined.
I don't think I have mentioned a lot about where I work quite yet. I don't actually work in a public school, but more of an after school-school. the students attend their school and then come to us to learn English. I work from 2:00-7:00 most days and a little later on the other evenings. I teach from about 10 different books to all age levels from elementary to middle school. Every class I teach is so very different. I really have not had very many problems with my students. That may be because I don't understand a lot of what they are saying. They could be cursing me constantly and I just don't know it!! lol! Other than that I absolutely love the culture here. I can't wait to get even more immersed in the culture...
