Thursday was my site visit from
Lucia, the Youth Development APCD, and Evan the YD volunteer leader. I was
nervous going into it, because I had organized a bunch of meeting with the
leaders of my town and I just wanted it to all go well. Turns out there was no
reason to be nervous. It was great to have them in site and pretty much
everyone turned up to the meetings. My directora said all sorts of wonderful
things to them and the kids in my class behaved really, really well. Evan,
Lucia and I spent the morning walking around Mancos. I got to show off my site
and they asked me all sorts of questions about what I’ve been doing. They also
told me that my Spanish had gotten a lot better :-P hurray!
That
afternoon I had my English club like normal. Once again the school door was
locked so we had class in my living room. Our lesson for Thursday was the body
parts in English, so I got one of the students to draw a cartoon body on my
little white board then they all took turns trying to name this different
parts. In honor of the only boy in the class, we named him Milton :-P After
English words the girls in the class started teaching me quechua words; some
body parts and the numbers. Basically this consisted of them writing words
down, me reading them and everyone giggling endlessly. Apparently it’s super
funny to watch the gringa try to speak quechua. Fortunately I love my role as a
continual source of amusement and , who knows, I might actually learn
something.
