When I woke up today I got dressed then went straight down to breakfast. I had Nutella banana toast. Then we hopped in the van and went to school. Today we had no one else with us in the van since they were going to people's houses with disabilities. We didn't know about it until later. When we got to our school we had our lesson planned. First we were going to go over the days of the week and the months of the year. Then we taught them the days of the week song. After, we played musical chairs to the days of the week song. They loved playing musical chairs! Next we played a board game that involved the days of the week, and the months. Over all it was really hard doing it with the little ones. Hard to have them follow directions, cooperate, and did not go as planned. For the older kids the board game was a little better but still not by much. During dismissal we got to play and have fun with the kids. One of the kids is William. Sometimes if I wink at him he would wink at me back. He is hilarious.
When we got back to home base we got to eat lunch and relax for a little while. After, we then got to listen about the history and culture of Tanzania. Back when Tanzania was a new country it was actually over German rule. I thought it would be ruled by the British. After we got to relax until dinner, where I had chicken, fruit and vegetables. A while after dinner we were so tired we went to bed.
Some of the things I like at being at Cross Cultural Solutions: finding new friends, helping others. Some of my new friends are David, Valentine, Jenna, Sammi, Al, Herman, Sarah, who are volunteers and John, Daniel, Joseph, Mama Fatuma, Sarah, and Mama Thea that are staff here at CCS. We have played of lots of cards the past couple days and talked a lot during our meals.
