I survived the first week of teaching!!! <br><br>The first week was an overwhelming blur of bawling, screaming, running, and traumatized children. In the mornings I help with the Kindergarten for 2 hours and then I have my wee lil preschoolers for 2 hours.

Monday, we couldn't go to SPS because Marsha had to work, so we went on Tuesday instead. I went with 2 of the other volunteers, Marsha and Kevin (both from the US); we got to the bus stop to be told there were not any buses yet, and so instead we walked up to the school. It is about 2 km west of the town, and quite isolated. I was surprised by the size; it is quite roomy and there are undercover classrooms around a ...

... now. How is it that in our world a parent that doesn't want a child cannot simply give it to a woman or family that wants it more than anything else in the world? We spent the afternoon visiting with the family and playing with the kids. We brought them clothes and toys. I don't know how they get by...<br><br>For dinner, I promised Nathan that I would make him lentil soup because that ...
