Today I had a really efolgreichen day, so I've decided I'm going to tell the tale.
in school today was a somewhat melancholy day, but on the other hand very well. The 9 months since I've been here in India, I taught the children at school. Since our school is to prepare for the public school, the children stay for only a year here. On Monday begins the new school year, so it means goodbye to the children. won
one hand, crying with one eye when I put them in this time sooo sweet. Every day, did not matter how tired or unmotivated I once I entered the school, I was gigantic and I was just happy to be there and see the smiling eyes of the children. (Real no idea how the children about us every day since 9 Monanten crazy about us can look forward). I also of course with the children already developed a lot of experience. You know what I ask of them, or what I will tell them (although they may not understand what I want to verbally convey even). I know their quirks, and my stop.
But on the other hand, the laughing eyes, and weighs about real. It's a wonderful feeling to see that our schuetzling can now go to public school and such a big step in making a better future. By comparison with the new children, I can just see very clearly what has all changed. But not only that
If I for example, the second And 3 Class think ... At the beginning of the school year, I'm on the word "book" and they have shown "schoolbag," said (or fall). And today ... Devi sits the love from the 2nd Class next to me and sees a piece of paper and reads it, "What is your name?". You can read an entire English sentence. Or my sixth Class that I teach only been about 6 weeks may now form question and negation, and form the past tense. Or my first Class, the write off of at the beginning English has been able to and now they can all write their names in English.
There is a real good feeling that children can go to because I am so convinced that they vobereitet am well and I have every confidence in them that they will get their way.
the shelter is just not such a good mood. Just as school starts again on Monday, the boys from their families have to go back to the Shelter. So they have to give up their lives again with her family, in complete nature and with much more freedom. But for most it is otherwise not possible to go to school, so it's very important for them that they are in our Shelter. Sorry, there are always children can not cope with it and run it. Last week, three small boys ran away because they were so homesick. One of them called me today and we mean that he will return. Today in the morning is also a home run. In it went, unfortunately, since he came back is not at all well, and he failed to terms with the situation. We tried to talk to him, but he had to do. But this boy is a very smart fellow, so I am certain that he will find his way. In Sabbavaram yesterday ran in the morning like 4 little boys, in the afternoon they were then found in the woods where they hid it, because from there they would walk home.
This all sounds now probably very frightening, but it is often a very touchy reaction that arises from the difficulty to adapt again and finally I am confident that almost all will begin on Monday in the school. Unfortunately, that is to run away but always part of such a project. It was very difficult at the beginning for me, but now I know that deal.
Another example of how different the lives of the tribals (people who live on mountains in villages), has occurred here, too. A 16 year old boy from the Shelter came back after the holidays from his village and told us then that he got married a week. Yes sounds crazy, it is. But the parents when the children marry, so she's not in love with someone or other have any contact. The fact that the wedding is not the best for the two is at that age, I dare to say to me that it's part of the life of tribals, however, is fact. I'm just uebergluecklich that the boy came back to the Shelter and won his school is now making ready. It is also nice to see that he is not depressed about the marriage, but he looks very positive.
Today in the Shelter, I had a tiny little experience that I was minted but insane. At present, we would make in the Shelter from many many Freundschaftsbaender because the boy so much fun. Our youngest boy, Karthik (5 years), has only recently begun to make a friendship band. About two weeks ago he came to me, "Sister Paamu (snake)". He wanted so that I learn in a particular friendship band technology. This I have but just learned themselves and it is really difficult. At first, I explained Karthik, that it is too difficult for him because I really did not know how to do it. He was, however, each drawing lesson to me, "Sister Paamu. I started the show and explain how it works, but his patience was really too little, and after 5 minutes it took the wool and threw it away, and cried, "Sister, no". To my surprise he came back than two days later and asked again after the snake. I explained again, and his patience riess again soon. Then there was a time break. But a few days he came back, "Sister paamu. I sat down again, he explained step by step, how to do it. His patience was very short and I made it but somehow, we made a piece. But he was so dissatisfied with the result that he was angry and it was really angry at me and did not consider me for a while. Today he came back to me and I was even more surprised that he wanted to try it again. I decided today all for him to be there and to do it with him. I held the friendship band and I was always every thread that he must take next. The entire time I focused on him alone, or I knew the, his patience is already over when I For example, only with someone else speak, and he must wait. was really after a while, finally, the long-awaited Paamu (snake) and I was so thrilled with the result that I began to sing. Then he saw my delight, his course still much larger. We have finally made that Karthik has done a Paamu. In the evening we made an exception again and of course the Freundschaftsbaender Karthik came back, "Sister Paamu. I sat down to him and told him to back step by step. Suddenly I discovered when I spoke briefly with someone else, that he has made of himself the next step. I said nothing and only responded when he asked me because he needed confirmation that the next step is right. Eventually I was able to find their own in a friendly band networking and Karthik made his.
He can now make a Paamu alone.
I know I've told this story now really in detail, but I'm looking just like that about it. Karthik has shown me clearly that I can do with a lot of patience. For children it is often difficult to be patient (I know even as well), but if I am calm and patient, then I transfer it to the child and it is much more feasible. But the most beautiful that Karthik showed me was like the saying goes: "Where there's a will, there's a way". And that is clearly Sun Everything can be achieved if one has the will and strength to believe in themselves.
So far so good, the most recent experiences that give me strength and motivation, and always make me feel like much more. Shortly
other news:
It's been a bit cooler, so I am now just one bit wet when I come home from school and no longer completely soaked.
my heat rash has not yet become quite less, but a shower with 3 times a day, baby soap and powder heat I keep it pretty well under control.
Opposite of us will be converted into a home for quite some time - it is beautiful and now I discover that they have painted it in my favorite color-orange. Bright color but just fit really nice in the city.
front of our house is paved the road a bit torn up and new. These small stones were delivered, which have been emptied at the entrance to our street. Well now you just can not go any more pure in the street because there is a large pile of stones. And about half an hour (10 clock in the evening) was suddenly a very loud .... Bettina told me then it just came the mixing machine, well, why not those who want to sleep already. That's a little bit of the crazy India.
So I'm fine, I enjoy the time .... 're nurmehr two and a half months.
wishes you all a wonderful summer (I am pleased that the sun finally arrived with you) and all have a lot of power and energy for the last weeks of school.
love best regards
Martina
