Team times

So it's been a while and we've been really busy with two teams in the last few weeks. One from New Hampshire (24 16-18 yr olds) where we spent 3 days in camp kewina, doing general jobs around the buildings...we painted the roof and some of the rooms, we also did a vacation Bible school two of the days where we had 90 7-9 year olds a day and had craft, bible and games stations. It was quite hard to communicate a lot with them because they didn't speak much spanish, mostly quechua. I think we felt like we did get through to some of them though and they deffinitely had a great time. Unfortunately a lot of the team got sick whilst we were there and so reduced numbers made it a bit harder but it still went pretty smoothly.
The other team was a huge team from Canada which didn't come through us but we took to Chapare for 2 days. We did some really good work on the orphanage at villa catorce; cleaning up, varnishing and making the place look much more ready to live in. Then we went to the other orphanage (21) in that region to see the kids and to stay the night. It was really nice to see them again and I spent a lot of time helping with homework and chatting to them, trying to translate their spanish for the other team members!
The Moseys have now left which is very sad and we all miss them alot. I'm staying with the Timmers now just for a while until we have the sister of the house mum from frutillar's family staying and looking after the hacienda and keeping me from being lonely and scared up there! Also awaiting the arrival of my friend from the U.K. to be another intern with me in April, he's from Spain so his spanish is going to be very useful for all of us!
So a few more teams are joining us shortly which will keep us nice and busy too.
I'm hopefully going to be starting to work with the after school center this week on a tuesday which will be fun and I've still got things like babysitting baby Angelito once a week and many other little things. My spanish classes are great and I feel like I'm learning alot now I suppose I just need to speak and practice it alot more.
So I think thats my update!
