Unbelievable but true ... I am already more than a month in India and have taught for 3 weeks now blossom in the Beach school.
Teaching is really very hard mostly because the children are not accustomed to so much as listening, sitting quietly, but do not know also that they should learn and are not supported by their parents in which so much. These are all circumstances that make my job not easy, but if I had wanted it to be easy, it would be I was not here. In principle, it makes me great fun to teach because the children always get me to surprise and small successes such importance. Currently, there is such that only 4 students in the fourth grade (math), because many just do not come back to school. That sounds like a lot of rest, but it is not because they are all very much alive and is now also at the level of these four very different. In the second and third class (English) mostly up to 15 students are here. Some come regularly beat, but unfortunately there are students who come once a week or so. Since then it is a big challenge to bring them to the same level, but it's all somehow. The daily
School every day is a great adventure. We take a crowded bus to school. (On the bus or sit in front of women, we are usually behind and only the men are.) From the bus stop we go about 10 minutes to school. This path is initially desedimentation a bigger road, then we turn but in a way where a right and left houses and cabins are also partially. We are always welcomed by all sides. Some children ran up and approached us and greet us with a few English sentences they koennen.Dieser way is really simple and also the Indian, where I wanted. At this school we meet again and again of course students, which we then try to persuade even partially, that they return to school.
home we go back the same way and then go home by bus. Because the bus stop is about 10 minutes walk from our house away, can we drive past the bus driver here, but almost always get us here. The funny thing is that we have to say what nurmehr rare, because they let us off automatically when we are on the bus.
The Shelter is now back everyday routine, because the children now go back to school. We now have every day for half an hour Telugulesson. Unfortunately, it is very difficult and it is vorran slowly. Then we always do in Shelter Sign / Craft hour. The children are really very talented in part, but as things we abstract art, or simply Experiments is very difficult for them because they always expect a product, but this is on art is not always necessary. Schoen slowly we are able to convince some of them.
Also in the school in drawing classes, we have to take away the children of the ruler, because they paint everything so real. And if not that, then they are characterized by what we write or where it breaks off. Again, we try to tease out the creativity in some way.
We have now also started to play in the school that we sometimes play with them, but if we do that then by all pupils (about 30-40, but that should be 50 or 60). The idea behind this is that the children receive suggestions for new games, but also that they might be motivated for that reason to go to school.
The language barrier that we have everywhere here, I'm the importance of looks somehow rediscovered. The non-verbal language is something very fascinating and is everywhere in the world equal.
Our children in the Shelter are currently paused only to speak English, so they learn it better. Is very funny when they suddenly get some instructions bsw jobs from the staff in English, because we then shrink again and again because we understand it. The children are also making some fun, but it is very difficult and it still mainly speak Telugu. It is for them but certainly a good training that we only speak English and they are to see ourselves simply somehow and respond with a few words. But sometimes I long to have it, just talk with them well in one language or to take to be able to follow their conversations with each other. There
Every second Saturday at the Beach blossom Competation a school, school, shelter and training center (where young people learn sewing or computer work). Last month was singing groups and individual dance. This month's group dance competition. For us the very best because we love the dancing of the Indian children. Especially in the movies. We have already learned about the half of a dance. Unfortunately, we have absolutely not the expression or the skill as children, but we have Enjoy it when we dance along a bit. Hopefully I can show you something at home then, if we might learn in the year the dance finished.
We at Competition have made a few videos, from left, we can soon make what times online, but it takes all this time.
the afternoon we go with the boys from the shelter are on a sports field, since we do not have their own. There is then usually played football, which I am of course very much. We are often the only female on the sports field. Even the dress, especially the scarf is not ideal to do sports, although it is very nice otherwise. As women we seem to sport in India not so together, it is for the boys wonder if I told you at the football sometimes take away the ball and run it because they do not expect it.
The basis between us and the lads will be more and more friendship. I feel very comfortable in the Shelter, it is simply a place where I go you.
But generally I feel very comfortable here. The weather is now very pleasant, even if sometimes very hot days, but the sweat and the heat did I am used to very good. Schoen is slowly kind of a routine and my life here has been a certain day.
Ichfreue me very much that you read my blog and am always feedback and suggestions about news from my home.
love Many Greetings from the haphazard India!
