The pictures I posted here before were the school (the house in blue), the village where the school is (the village is Sachaca and the school's name is Maldonado) and the picture with almost all students showing their animals! That day all the students broght animals and the room seemed a real zoo as you can see in the picture. Yesterday we had a "parrillada" - barbeque, here in the hotel (as I've already told you works as an operational center of the NGO). The purpose was to celebrate the american Thanksgiving day, as there are many americans here.
I've already finished my first week and I can say that has been a wonderful experience. I'm doing ok in the classes. The oficial teacher doesn't appear oftenly now, so I'm almost all the time responsable for my class. Of course that there are some students that sometimes disturb the class. Today I had to talk seriously with one student, but he understood that he was not acting well and he changed his behaviour.
People here in Peru are very religious. Today I was very surprised when the students told me that there's a school near called (Senora de Fatima), all of them knew Fatima and the meaning of Fatima. I told them where Fatima is and all the story about it. They were very interested listening it. But when I got really surprised was when all the students strarted singing the Fatima song "A 13 de Maio..." in spanish.
I was tempted to climb 'El Misti' - the vulcano in the picture, by a Irish volunteer. The climbing is managed by a company. We go with guides and we must sleep one night in the middle of the montain. We should do it this weekend. But then I decided to postpone it, as I feel yet not ready to climb a montain over 5000 m. I think I will wait a coupple of weeks to do it.
