Everyone in the house is sick today so we are having to double up on lessons to fill in for the sick ones. We are also leaving for Pumamarca late today so that everyone can complete their blood tests (not everyone can pooh on demand).
Ray did two lessons of computer then went to to the garden. Everyone is accepting him as head gardening oracle. The garden is really looking good now. We just have to harvest some produce and it will be great. The garden beds look very healthy with all the compost he has used from past volunteer efforts and he has tidied up all the surrounding areas which were a bit overgrown. The other volunteers pop in to help from time to time, and he has his special helpers who like to water and plant seeds for him, even me. So things are going along smoothly for him. Now he has to give an end of month progress report.
I spent the morning in computers with Viv and Ray and then PE with Vicky. Not feeling all that well so not too enthusiastiv when the kids get over excited and cuddly.
We had a special assembly for Lee (a Canadian volunteer) who has been here for 2 months now and the kids love him and wanted to give him a special farewell. They all had flowers and cards for him. He was very emotional. There will be late night parties for the next 2 nights until he leaves. Actually a lot of the revellers are laid up with Guardia, oemebers and salmonella, so perhaps not such a large gathering - we´ll see.
After school we walked back down the mountain (a half an hour bus ride) as the school kids were using the van for a football match in a nearby village. It took us one and a half hours.
We had Spanish lessons (2 hours) this afternoon and we are starting to get a handle on this masculine feminine thing. Still can´t understand when people speak to me. Lots of hand signals.
