So it's been a few days and I thought it was time for another blog post.
When I first got here I was kind of down I have to admit.I mean, maybe that was my version of jet lag, but when I landed I was just kind of bummed about leaving all the people I really love back home which is some 7000 or so miles away -for a month! Long and short of things, I was starting to think I was in for a long month. After a week though, I've come to the conclusion that it may fly by in record time.
Work is great, and the kids I work with are AMAZING! I cannot really put into words how cool they are, and how fun it is to go there every mon-friday; they truly are the highlight of the placement; no doubt. From the time we get there in the morning until we leave in the afternoon they are all so happy to see us, and get shown some love. I don't think I've ever done anything "work" wise that had been so inspiring and fulfilling. It really kind of puts having a bad day in perspective. These kids have things about as bad as any human can have it, and they still get a kick out of something as silly as taking them for a walk or tickling them. To be honest, I wouldn't really be having all that great of a time if it weren't for my placement. Real talk. It actually makes the time away from friends, family and the money I've spent so worth it.
We aren't supposed to have favorites (At least I don't think we are) but I do have one Hasha; I still like the other kids but she's my pick; She looks like Annie, like, "It's a Hard Knock Life" Annie. So awesome plus she always is so happy and has and amazing smile. As you can probably tell, I kind of like her a bit. We aren't supposed to take photos inside the orphanage or of the kids, but I'm am guaranteeing I'm going to break that rule. I'm talking like take it to the bank 100% guarantee. It's going down. There is no way I could leave without taking a visual representation of the memories I'm going have. So with that I say away with this silly rule and to the wind with it!
Fez was cool this weekend. It was a bonding experience with the other people that started CCS the same day I did. It's very intense. Lots and lots of people mobbing you and hustling/peddling there wears. It's very old timey that way. It's a very difficult things to Fes for me so I'm not going to try via in internets I'm going to show pictures and let the stories come out that way... I love it when a plan comes together...till next time! Vaya con dios
