This morning we finally worked out our work placements. I will be teaching English (or History?) at the Fundation School at Nuevo Mundo, which is a prestigious private school that runs the foundation in the afternoon to provide high quality schooling for students from poorer areas like Duran. Check out more about the school here: rostrodecristo.org/community/nuevo-mundo.html
I have a sweet uniform- good thing I´ve always wanted to look like a stewardess.. There is a summer scarf involved. A couple times a week I will also be helping run Semillas de Mostaza, 1 of 3 afterschool program Rostro organizes. Semillas will start up on Monday and then Mundo probably the week after. Can´t wait to start working and hanging out with kids!
In shakier news (...) there was an earthquake this morning but aside from a very rocky bunkbed it did no damage where we are. Afternoon goal: eat a chocolate frozen banana.
Assignment sounds awesome (as does the chocolate frozen banana) - earthquake? Not so much...

We enjoyed an ice cream with you in mind at Ben & Bill's Ice Cream Emporium on Circuit Street - Rocky Road in honor of the terremoto.
