First week as a volenteer at Aldea Yanapay

On Monday i started working as a volenteer at the Yanapay schools. It has been very challenging, but definately also very fun. I've been working in the games room in school 1. That is a place where the smallest of the kids come from 3-5 in the afternoon and play a lot of different games. It can be everything from Twister to memomy games or puzzles. The two hours are divided into two sections though. The first hour and 20 minutes the kids can only play games that are educational in some way. After that they can play exactly what they want.
After the games room all the kids from both schools gather for "el circulo", it is a time where the kids get important messages and if someone wants to say something they can do it then. The last 1-1½ hour I've been working with the family cielo. It is a class consisting of kids that are around 6-7 years old. We have been working with Mexico this week, and we have taught the kids some different facts about the country, and then we have made some different drawings that we used for the show on Friday. The show is something we have every Friday, and it is a time where all the kids sit down, and each group presents a small show to show everyone what they have learned the past week.

 At the show on Friday some of the kids needed a little help with their lines.

Besides the time at the Yanapay schools I have also been taking spanish classes. And I decided to only have grammar classes, because it was way too much to have 4 classes of spansih every day. But in my last practical lesson I went with my teacher to the marked, and here are some pictures of what you can see at the marked:

 Delicious fruit from the juicestands.

 They have meat like this all over the place.

 This is very tipical. Women from the country come to the markeds around in Peru and try and sell the stuff they have been producing back home.
