Well, Theo and I are finally starting some work that will be beneficial for others! It's official, starting next wednesday Theo and I will be the teachers of two new English classes for students during their ¨summer¨ break. We are also starting a weekly class tomorrow night at the monastery for the monks and any other workers who want to come. We are both really excited about getting started. Teaching the kids should be a lot of fun, although I am a little nervous. I have never had to do lesson plans before and I'm not quite sure how to fill up and hour every day with grammar, vocab, and pronunciation...and keep it fun and interesting, for me just as much as the students. Theo has some experience with teaching kids so that will be good, I'm counting on him for the creativity part.
The other project that we are slowly working on is a alternative energy project with solar panels. The end goal is to get a solar panel for the City of Joy library, built by last years volunteers, that will be able to run a computer (maybe more if they have a need for more), and possibly the lights.
Lastly, probably a week and a half ago we finally met the dogs. Thankfully it was during the day and they were all chained up outside their barn. There are 5 or 6 of them...we only thought there was 2 or 3...and they are all german sheppards! As we walked by (still 30 ft away) on a path they all started barking...two of them stood up and tightened their restraints...quite scary, Theo said that he was about ready to climb the tree. Basically, they hadn't even met us, and they already want to eat us...we'd better not ever see them at night or its game over.
