After some very sobering commentary on the actuality of my blog now, the latest news:
I am the last 2 weeks with Felix (you know already: operates in Coita, 1 std. Tuxtla ago as a volunteer even for Siijuve) and the last week with Nele, Ner girlfriend of Felix the currently Au Pair in San Francisco, makes traveling around the Yucatan. Route was as follows: Merida, Tulum, Isla Mujeres, Cancun (A NIGHTMARE! TERRIBLE TOWN THAT I HAVE BEEN KNOW! More on that later), Coba, Tulum and Playa del Carmen. We have really seen a lot and the vacation was just great!
After the Easter holidays there are 2 important new features here at the Albergue: 1 Emilio's gone. Emilio was a particularly stressful child, so his absence (although one of only 50 boys) here would be of considerable importance. It was me but somehow, despite ADHD and constant resistance and stubbornness, and all this "problem child posturing" grown really fond of. Sor Luz me, insured that he would be better now because he lives in a family who take care of individual course can. But I wonder how long the family will have it / can, as Emilio has already acted in a number of host families nearby. The guys who have no families are in fact located more in the holidays with host families. Unfortunately, there are not enough but in rare cases. As I sit here now in the project, photos of Emilio to be filed later.
second The children now have 2x weekly Tae-kwon-do classes. I find very very good! Yesterday was the first time, and training of teachers (with, according to his own statement, longtime Militaererfahrung which one it also decreases very) much more emphasis on disciplines. Also be called the children are physically and hopefully in quietly Estudio what I really would come to good, I now usually only for the children in the group "Don Bosco" am responsible (ie aged 10-14 Sun about 10).
also arrived yesterday, a new child. Since my arrival last summer, the boy is the second, after the four year-Ivan Jesus, which was recorded several months ago. In exchange, but 6 guys already have left the Albergue. This usually happens because they do not even more and it would be counter-productive, then this still keep. Particular it was in the autumn of Jose and Alexis, living with their mothers, about 2 months Praxtedes had made to the Elias lot. Finally, the two children of the woman who worked in the laundry is because one of the two - Jhon Franklin - was bullied and now even Emilio. I will not be involved as volunteers in such decisions, I do believe, though not the majority of the nuns.
am Otherwise I remained faithful and always pray not still go but now almost daily the Bulli, with me and pick up some of the Sor Luz children from 2 schools. Driving in Mexico was at first totally getting used to. In particular, the constant eighth on the track while the "easy" road disorderly was found to keep an eye out to be a Herasuforderung. You have to say that in Mexico almost as many "Topes" as tortillas are. Topes are wider Hills that were created artificially in the streets to force the driver to slow down. There Topes in various shapes and heights and has to be out, with how many km / h you can about each drive over there, it really takes a while. Some sets namely, even if only 5 km / h even on the exhaust, causing anxious faces of Sor Luz and me, while enthusiastic "Chidoooo" leads cries of the children (in dt as "cool") .
Until Later
