Some more important stuff

Got some more stuff to tell you that I thought needed it's own post.


Cass and I have set up a secondary project at the University near the aldea.

We met Professor Britaldo who works at the uni but who also comes to teach at the aldea once a week.

He's such a lovely and generous man and he helped us to set up a language swap at the uni. Through this we met Ms Socorro who works at the uni as well.

At the moment we are going to the uni on Saturdays to observe english lessons and to help the existing english teachers there. Eventually we hope to teach our own English lessons which would be brilliant. We're really excited and proud of ourselves and can't wait to see how it turns out.


I just want to thank Professor Britaldo because without him we never would have been able to do it.  He has been so great to us while we've been here and he and his daughter Lia include us in loads of things and invite us for dinner and help us with anything we need and we love them.


We want to thank Ms Socorro and her family too who have been great friends to us as well. Socorro takes us to lots of places such as nice food places and to a uni event where there was a parade to the stadium and then each faculty did a performance. That was so much fun and we had never seen anything like that in England.

The parade and me with Socorro...

Socorro is such a great woman,  she's so lovely and always there to help us if we need anything. She treats us like we're part of her family and invites us to her house for food and to watch films in her little home cinema.


We're so glad we met them all and they make our time here even  more enjoyable.


That goes for the people at the aldea too. Everyone who works there and the director who help us and make us feel welcome.


Thanks to the tias who are just some of the most amazing people I have ever met.


And to all the kids who have accepted us wihout question and made us feel wanted.


I'm really happy I chose to do this.
