First one and a half week at work.

I work as a volunteer at Santo Domingo private school. I am assistent in a class with 8 to 10 students. All around 5 years old.

The Kids are very open and curios., from first time I came into the class. Every one wanted to know all about me and a lot of hugs upon arrival and every day when i leave the class. It is amazing to see how much they care and want to be friend with some one they never met before.

In the class there are 3 kid’s with special needs. They are very cute but it is hard work to make them sit and pay attention. I love these three kids. I spent a lot of time to help and try to teach them how to behave. Sometimes it looks like they are progressing but soon they return to basic. But I still hope the effort is paying back. They are not dumb but need some attention during classes.

I already start to think about the day when i have to leave. It will be a sad day. Perhaps stay 2 months more or forever. I will get back to that i a later post.

The school only have female teachers i think they do their job really good, but you can see that the boys love to come and talk with me. I think they sometimes need a different type as well. Someone which know how a boy plays and don’t care about every small injury.

Until next time. It will be more about living in Costa Rica and how easy it is.

Pura vida mis amigos. Hasta luego.
