I am now again almost 3 weeks in India and back again all in life. Since our return to work is somehow become a little more intense. On the one hand, because Easter was just, but also because I still want to spend more time with the children because I feel somehow that the time has really flies.
Last weekend was Easter, so ... principle really not a big festival in India, because almost all people here are Hindus. Since our project is a Christian, we celebrated Easter. Betty and I were preparing last week for each of the boys before an Easter basket. On Saturday morning we bought for 100 eggs and cooked it and then color it. Actually has surprisingly works really well. The only funny but problem was that we could not deter the eggs, because so does the water from the tap and hot
On Sunday in the morning we went together with the boys from the shelter by bus to Sabbavaram. There we were happy to see huge I again all the boys. Then there was a beautiful joint exhibition, then followed by lunch. Then there was a program with dances, songs, etc. Meanwhile, we hid the Easter baskets of the many beautiful palm trees. Next we divided the boys into groups and each was allowed to look at Easter. Was kinda funny and a different way than in Austria.
danced After the search, we still working and then we played volleyball and football and enjoyed the time together. Was correct and beautiful but also pretty hot. The nice after such a day is then to keep coming home and then enjoy a warm shower (cold water would be nice, but there is something not currently in the pipe).
In Shelter we have every day now again Drawing class nut, but with the younger lads, they have now, namely in the afternoon always free. The drawing and tinkering with them is always very exciting because they can be inspired for so many things because they do not know many things in India and usually draw more perfect understood and will trace the boys then of course, extremely pleased, because it allowed us, for example, as yesterday, with paint and marbles make a note.
The school has recently changed the schedule for me a little. I have been teaching since last week, the first Class in English. Is a great honor because Volontaere not normally get to first grade. The children are very happy that they finally have a Sister and of course it is also exciting for them, but because we have a different teaching style than our Indian colleagues. For example, I check every single day whether the Hausuebung is brought, etc. They are real bright, but definitely interested and somehow so sweet, because they hold still so questions such as which line they should write. It seems to me in the 1st Absolutely great benefit that I can do something Telugu. So I write them the first words in Telugu in Teluguschrift, and then to the English. Good for them because they understand it as safe and even better for me because it is a really good exercise for me, and I therefore improve my Telugu, especially writing.
Waerden On Friday I was in school and non-additionally, the 6th Teaching English in class, that means that I then Monday, Wednesday and Friday am for one hour longer in school. Is of course even more tiring, but it's really important that the 6th Ordinary class teaching English have. Today I have also taught a bit, first with the class. Since then, the difference is very large.
might sound funny, the first and teach the sixth grade together, but today was not a teacher there, so we then changed things a bit. Since then I've just in the first unit in English 2, 3 and 6 and then taught simultaneously in English in the second unit of the 1st And by the way math in the 6th Not always easy, but just Indian and somehow it works then already. In Austria, that would be somehow absolutely unimaginable.
The Tempertaturen get more and more, but I've already got used to dance music while because I just always sweating. Especially when playing football, it is very hot, but as I said everything Gewoehnungssache.
Aja next to the "work" we have last week attended a lunch break in a girlfriend in her house. She has informed us on the way to her house that her family from the middle layer and their house is not so great. There was then a rather small kitchen, a small bath or shower room and a living room, where about three beds have space. There were two places where sleeps the whole family (mother, two daughters, one son). One of the beds was set up so we could sit down to eat on the floor. We got a really good food served on a leaf. There was a great time to and be a normal Indian family to visit. The hospitality is so incredibly big. Now I'm really
already written a lot.
I also new photos from the last time would make up. I hope you had nice Easter. sends
Very best regards
Martina
