Nun bin ich seit genau einem Monat und zwei Wochen in Kolumbien - und es ist unglaublich, wie schnell die Zeit bei den vielen Erlebnissen und Eindrücken vergeht! Mittlerweile glaube ich, dass ich mich schon relativ gut eingelebt habe. Ich fühle mich von Tag zu Tag wohler in meinem Projekt und unter den vielen Menschen hier. Die abenteuerlichen Fahrten mit dem Jeep hoch nach Montebello sind schon fast zur Gewohnheit geworden und mittlerweile I found my fun to me on the return journey back to the Jeep (assuming it is a driver in "reasonable" speed drives) to make, to enjoy the view and the wind ... In between we had for a week school holidays spontaneously! And on the grounds that the fathers should spend time with their children! Well, this week, in which the children were not in school, we should initially continue to work on the many construction projects. Oh miracle, everything changed! We (Fred, Jasmin, Louis and I) were to spend this week from Tuesday but then with the teachers who were present at school and take part in topics such as "dyslexia" or have "Montessori" is presented. This week has really paid off, was pretty tough (because the whole day was busy trying to understand some English), but also very interesting! We had such a chance to get to know all the teachers at rest and get some information about the students. A term to me but very stuck in my mind! It reads: "Pedagogia DE AMOR" - "pedagogy of love" and is the umbrella term of all that happened in school! The school is for children that is to be a place of peace and love by allowing them to be, above all free and without worry!
The following day I have as before with Fred and Jasmine, the third class in English, art and computer classes taught. It is also very tiring, even to third, which is probably because our language skills are in need of improvement. Fortunately I brought from Germany plays small blocks! A great way to occupy the children after work, so that they can not even begin to be restless and sow chaos. In addition, I teach now an additional 6th class and some students from the sale in German, which I really hope it never comes up with this teaching of German grammar, I've found that I am definitely not mastered this!
Next week school holidays are here again the day - and not just for a few weeks - no, a full 2 -3 months are now off school for the children. And that is because there are not enough funds to pay the teachers! Fortunately, however, are for the period 16 November to 16 December called "vaccaciones Recreativos" (relaxing holidays) for children from the Colegio who fancy taking part, to. During this time I will, as planned so far is to make with a group of more than 20 children from the 1st of 2nd class and Puppet Theater ...
A new discovery of mine are the shopping centers here in Cali. Among us it means "make a trip to Europe" because there nice shops, are among other things, for example, ZARA, and delicious food! In such moments is a re the incredible contrast Colombia kept in mind ..
happens, the price will be cut over the ear now often once. Since we were last weekend, but decreased in the evening instead of 20 000 7,000 pesos! Or the taxi driver drives on the way to the dance school just a different, much longer path through pure dark streets to demand the debate to more money. But unless more is done to us, I'm happy =)! I'm definitely very careful on the roads as possible and try not to be traveling alone.
A volunteer with us was robbed two weeks ago en route to the Colegio. A few days ago, we then learn that the man was killed at night in Monte Bello. This has some concern here. For me, this is simply unimaginable .. .. Imagine this is a human life is so much less value than ours! Even the kids have talked about it in the library! I also had my first bit bigger car with a trailer in the ditch, auf dem Kopf liegend, in Montebello gesehen. Als es dann nach meiner etwas aufgebrochenen Reaktion hieß: „ Ach, das war der dritte im Monat“ werde ich definitiv niemals mit dem Bus hoch in die Schule fahren!
Aber Schluss mit den Schauermärchen! Heute hatte ich einen wunderschönen Tag mit den Kindern aus der dritten Klasse im Zoo in Cali ...
