Thursday 1 Feb 2007
Today we had a meeting for all the parents in our little hut, and I had 25 children to myself in a tiny space between the front patio and house, where all their washing hangs, with two spare tyres and few cube like containers to sit on. FOR TWO hours.... Now my Spanish is really not even slightly good. We do have a white board, and somehow I managed to get them to do stuff, work in their books, play a game and learn the greater than sign, which is a new concept. (Which they even understood) The mom of the house, was behind me washing her clothes, finding it all rather amusing. While all this was happening, the moms inside kept poking their heads out in disbelief that all were quiet. I think I had a Daniel in the Lions Den moment. Survived amazingly.
Cannot believe it is February!

Hola Cons
this is all very technical, but have figured out how to reply...
Have fun and take care, you sound like youve got those kids wrapped round your little finger!!
love me
I'm really impressed that you could do this in a foreign language. Either your Spanish is better than you are letting on, or you are just amazing, or maybe a bit of both.
By the way, would a bundle of newborn (gender neutral) baby clothes be of any use to you?
We are waiting for teh next instalment:-)
Hope you continue to have loads! of fun and success of course
