progress at school

 

 

 

New workshop for mothers...sanding of the building has completed. The undercoat is up and now the first coat of paint is done. "Veggie patch"...all weeding is finally finished! Can you see the difference on the before and after photos? Anymore weeding will drive us nuts. Hard work and tough on the back. Picked some peas for the kids too. Potatoes will be harvested soon. Classes...this is a major challenge. As we were told...the Peruvian clock is very fluid...11am can mean 1pm, thus classes are sometimes cancelled or changed on the spot. The kids seems to run in and out of the class anytime they like, there aren't enough local teachers for all classes, sometimes they refused to listen to the gringo (us the foreigners) and can be very rude and rough. Grades 5 and 6 are good and easy to manage but Grades 1-4 are tricky.
