Hola

Everything has been going well here. This past Friday i travelled with two other volunteers to a mountain school, i think it was somewhere south of huancayo. As usual, is a beautiful trip with a mountains and small pueblos. When we were there we split the children into three different groups, one volunteer with each group. The children were then able to ask us about our countries, it was a great cultural experience. The children were in shock about the cold weather and snow. haha. Other children asked about food, music, sports, and all that fun stuff.

But half-way through the questioning one quite boy politely raised his hand and asked (this is my translation), "What about the war?" Well anyone knows me or has been reading my blog probably has a generally good idea of what my response was. It is interesting to learn about your own country from the outside and how people feel about it. That in itself i think is a very good reason to travel. Yes, i said before one person doesn´t necessarily need to travel to learn about the world but i do think it helps in more ways than you can imagine, travelling that is. Basically if I have to sum up what i had said in the last two blogs into one sentence i would say this...

Do what you need to do to learn and experience your world, just make sure that you do it.


Moving on... The orphanage has been going well. Every morning i play guitar for bryan and every morning he falls asleep when i do. I think it is good for him because he crys a lot and a lot. Ramiro has been in a good mode the last two days so it has been really easy working with him. haha.

There haven´t been too many children at the Chupaca project this week because the children have had to practice marching or something at their schools. i´m not really sure what it is they do. haha. but having a small number of children has made for a nice break.

tomorrow i have another meeting with the moms of autistic children at the special needs school to gather more information about what they need. This week I have been emailing organizations that assist family's with autistic children. hopefully i will have more info. next week.

I ate guinea pig again last night. haha. I apologize to anyone i may be upsetting by sharing this but it common to eat here.

Ahora, yo necessito comer almuerzo. adios.
