This will be brief, but I wanted to update on today's activities. I went to Graciela's school again today. I observed a class of Guarani and saw a play put on by another class. The educational system is SO different here. (More on that later.)
This afternoon, representatives of the Rotary Club delivered TVs and clothes to a children's home and a home that would be like a retirement home in the states, except that the people there are lacking a lot of the necessities of life and don't have family that takes care of them.
This evening I attended my first Rotary Club meeting in Ciudad del Este. It was a celebration for Father's Day with music and food. It was a lot of fun! I have pictures, and Graciela found a cable that fits my camera! :) I will work on uploading them this weekend.
Tomorrow will be another busy day...tomorrow I will tour the hydroelectric plant and I think the city (I haven't been able to see much because it's been raining most of the week...I know you guys in Texas are jealous [or at least my husband and his parents for the boat and jetski sales!].) I may also be going with Brittany, another Rotary exchange person, to help paint in an orphanage.
I can't believe it's almost been a week sent I left Texas...and my cats and dogs and husband are still alive--with food and clean clothes (or so Shawn claims)! Hee! :)
I'm sure Shawn is no dummy! Surely he knows our mother's motto: If you don't have it, go buy it! He knows how to buy clean clothes and food, if nothing else. And I'm sure he knows the other family motto: why cook when you can go out? He'll be fine!
ReplyDeleteShawn--I have faith in you! I just hope AJ is being nice and cooperative!
I was single before. I think I can survive on my own. Well.... hopefully.
ReplyDeleteHis mom can always do his laundry. HI to my favorite daughter in law...He is like his dad and can go out to eat if it isn't served on a platter as he flips the TV channels.
