How To Get Rid Of Cat Pee Smell On Tile Floor

Cambio



Hola Amigos!

Since the last entry about my activities here at the Albergue a lot has changed. Probably the biggest difference is that I am with the kids getting better and I understand (even chaotic) really fond of have. It's amazing that when I'm in a bad mood or just not good on it, am I the laughter of the kids cheers each time again.

I will be here by the way almost always addressed as Bendiez (left). Its name comes from the fact that he can transform into 10 different characters.

I started some time ago from balloons and sand make juggling balls . Since I pretty tight because of the program, unfortunately, do not get any free time with the kids, I had to create even a small window of time: Provided my children to work fast and have not dawdled we can clean up after the Oficio (Haus juggle after lunch) a quarter of an hour to practice. The children make the real fun. In addition, they learn quickly and work without dawdling to play sooner. Joshua, after a week even juggle with 3 balls already - does not yet made around but he's guaranteed to be practicing on. As soon as I unpack my juggling balls are the kids who participate in the church came running to clean up and do, so they can explain to each other how to do it properly.

What has not changed? I'm after I picked up the kids from school, not in the laundry, but help the kids reading. Frighteningly, I found that John (11), the alphabet was not yet! I am also responsible for the tinkering of Christmas gifts. It is put out of 2 150 stars glued Pappquadraten that are wrapped with nylon cords neatly. Front there is a portrait of Maria and back a little prayer text ... not quite my taste but anyway. Representative of the Albergue is in any case.



Here you see me cut the 300 Pappquadrate . The preparations have lasted forever. That is why I am recently retired and from the homework.

The 150 stars go to all "Beneficadores" - ie donor donation, the money or fruit or whatever. The whole thing started when Sor Luz has given me a star and I was ready for them to find out how that is done.

Meanwhile, after numerous attempts with different thick paper, cotton, nylon and thinner and thicker, you got me all the desired items and I could get away with the children to tinker. Of course, but the nuns do not share time in their program. They are in the 2 months remaining until Christmas, however, must see - I'm sure - that 150 stars (one takes about an hour to umwicheln) does not produce by itself and that I can not do all. I'm curious if you get to Christmas, all 150, we should "simply" always take occasional pair if the children have time (totally unrealistic, as they never have time ...)

Another example, that it difficult to find time for anything with the kids or nuns, Sor Luz is a 'project to write me a play. She had expressed before about 2 weeks, yet it is still nothing came and I did not think that will happen there. When would that be? Luz is the whole day with the kids and has absolutely no breaks until late at night!

Yesterday were the older kids (12-16) in the morning at home because they had no school. The time would be able to use perfect for any sports or other activities. Instead, the children have swept the yard, swept and cleaned up. Add to push that I could maybe do something with the kids I was told that cleanliness is extremely important, not only external but also internal. Furthermore, the children must be accustomed to hard work and guests Albergue may only see clean, because they speak more of it then. Of course this is true cleanliness is important, children must be accustomed to work, but not rich and 3, for five hours instead of brushing? Maybe with established expectations, not simply an occupational therapy?

one needs to understand the position of the nuns: they have long been accustomed to these fixed daily schedule and they are more important than other values such as the training of coordination skills in juggling - keyword inner purity. I'm actually also believe that the children are accustomed to hard work, especially when the usual work ethic here in Mexico are considered. And also that they should have some time alone so that they feel as little as possible on your own and do not have to think about their past I support. However, I find the "employment program" that drive the nuns more than questionable! Here, for example, 3 times a day and swept the courtyard of a few - a few leaves, free - for my eyes. We will see how this developed.

What's to? The construction workers underpin our "emergency back door" to! But we would probably use more anyway, since we know that the Securityman, who was walking around in the street, immediately call the police if he sees someone in the evening or at night, climbing over the wall. And that was a more than uncomfortable ...


Nevertheless - "What?"

it has also become a bit cooler. This can be observed only in the early morning and late evening. I have to drive in the morning sweater and long pants to the schools. But It Feels kind of good:)

greetings to Australia to Jana and Lynn, after America to Lisa, Lisa, Annie & Lari, to Christoph Uganda and Frido in Hanoi , after also Kenya , Porto Alegre, after Zurich & Lucerne after Ecuador to Leo and to all colleagues in Mexico , which I will hopefully see the end of October again? ! - especially in Ocotlan to J! and of course sunny greetings to all in German schl and remaining and all readers in the depths of the Web, I do not know!

did well!
Ben

How Many Words In A Book Chapter



HOLA! Recently, donors have been there twice

First . Some of elegantly dressed women whom they considered their wealth significantly, sat with Sor Isa (bel) and Sor Lupita at the kitchen table there was coffee (Kaffee! which there is otherwise never - even if it was not tasty) and cookies. The other's never, was also fine porcelain tableware used. Then exchanged for eternal counting money and some nice words about 33 000 pesos changed hands. Sor Isa has more than just thanks and shortly afterwards Elias and I presented the ladies. Actually, the ladies were very nice, but with her superficial smile acting like they were carved me a little unsympathetic towards the end. Of course it would be unfair to the women assume a standard rate disinterest in the children. To me it has worked, however, so, too, because they have spoken a word to them.

Second: In the afternoon there was a roughly ten-strong delegation of a company. The company name was something with Microcrédito, suggesting a bank. All children had a Albergue green T-shirt dress, it was pretty much blown up balloons and set up rows of chairs and a table for the speakers. Also provide 2 Masked youngsters around in smelly costumes to entertain the children. The intention was not the whole matter needs:
There was two sobering dry acceptance speeches by the head of the company and one of the aforementioned ladies (brown top, right in the picture ), which was also present. Then, thousands of photos with the giant check and the children were taken.

I have the children, even at Homework has never been so bored and listless experience. This was also reflected in the song sung by kids, "Gracias" down. While usually all sing loudly, has been silent here in about half.

The entire event seemed to us - sisters, children and volunteers - as a staging site for the press and the company. The donated sum of 25,000 pesos corresponds to the way in about 1250 €. Again, I was not escape the impression that donors do indeed donate and this is seen by the nuns also like but not the least bit interested in the welfare of the beneficiaries. After talking with
the children? Re nil


The current construction devour this way about a million pesos . How then help the two amounts, can piece together any themselves. Nevertheless, thanks to the donors.

But after the children had fun with balloons. And they got candy too;)
