There is news
On 14 April it was finally over. AFS has sent me an e-mail with my project. This means: Colegio Técnico Profesional José Daniel Flores Zavaleta, located in the rural area of Costa Rica in Santa Maria de Dota.
The school was founded in 1972 and has set itself the task of covering a wide range of areas of education for its pupils. In grades 7-9 students participate in job preparation workshops some that are in grades 10-12 per absorbed by interests. In addition to language teaching environmental workshops are offered, such as working in the organic garden, with butterflies, or in chicken breeding.
As a volunteer I work in the organic garden and help in the butterfly garden to support the Department of Rural Tourism. I will also be used in the chicken breeding. Depending on needs, I will participate in language teaching. Working hours are Monday to Friday 7:00-16:30 his clock.
If you want to make you a better idea on how the school can make you take a look at their website: http://www.ctpdota.webhispana.net/
A video has a beautiful view of the landscape and school is their place in the upper left corner of the "Video Colegio".

Starlogic Usb 5.1 Theater
What goes?
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

Baby Shower Invitation Money Poem
CRUZE
For Easter I made with my children cross. Which were then folded in the middle of a A5 glued sheet so that it led to a card. Then, with a (logical: religious) text provided to and from Italy and Mexico to the "bene chores," the donors, sent a thank you.
(were called to the children the crosses by the way still "estrellas", ie stars, because they combine this with me and group work and crafts and to get used somehow not wanted) for this Bastelakt had to / could I plan everything yourself, which I really has fallen. I see clearly that confidence in me and the legitimate requirements Vernatwortung more and more.
required for a cross min some children (especially Edgar, who was even faster I) 10., But some almost an hour. Brian, for example, a boy of enormous difficulties to concentrate for longer, but usually good-humored some English "songs" (which means he, without any knowledge of English, especially Michael Jackson), but mostly English songs hinträllert aloud needed due to some errors when connecting the lines, simple eternal. I think it was for him but also for all the other kids a good Konzentrationsübrung. The children also learn to work exactly as I give myself very picky and each needle to be placed exactly, otherwise the cross is not accepted.
I hope you can see this: The small holes in the boards are a Nylon thread connected. We use needles. In the end I still firmly lashed everything and voila, finished a cross.
The children will be sold in a job as a reward that they can make only when they have finished their homework. So then does the motivation:)
preparation is everything.
It looks so at mid-off.
rear view that is so glued to happiness.
