Day 5 - INABIF orphanage & Hindu movie!

Mayo cinqo 05-05-06

Hehe as you can all see, I am very behind on blogging /diary writing in general! So I shall take my time and update this asap.. hehe

I had my first spanish lesson today with Elizabeth, and it was great! I learnt los numeros, alfabetos and Singular-plural pronouns. Elizabeth is Peruvian and a local high school teacher who teaches English in her school. She is really friendly and pretty, you will understand when u see the photo ;) The lesson flew by and I was really excited to practice my newly learnt Spanish!! Knowing the different numbers definitely help with shopping and asking for time, I felt really confident to strut down the street after the lesson! In Peru, there arent HOT showers and only LUKEWARM showers (due to the high altitude), so I had my first WARM shower today at Donna´s house. Everything was perfect beside the fact that water trickled down and te bathroom air was FREEZING!

So, I worked in INABIF, an al-boys orphanage in the afternoon. We arrived around 2:20pm and it was suppose to be their Sportss day. Yet the kids were sitting around while older boys played futbal (soccer), the younger kids watched Hindu movices! It is funny because the children knows EVERY WORD and DANCE along to the entire movie! We had lots of fun, and I had two kids stuck on me: Luis Fernando & Joel. They are the cutest kid ever!! And so friendly, warm, and just cute in general. It was heartbreaking at the end of the day because they wouldnt let me go, and kept asking me to stay... when I said I will be back on Monday, they seem unconvinced =( It´s sad to know that they are so used to volunteers leaving them...
