We are 4 weeks in to our summer program at Nuevo Mundo. I am teaching history and English every morning to 5 girls who have won scholarships to the morning school at Nuevo Mundo. It´s been a blast to work with these kids because they can really take the information and run with it. We are also running a book club of sorts with the rising decimos (9th graders) which is slightly less formal and can look a lot more like a bunch of people sitting around on the floor playing competitive games of Bananagrams than a serious reading group, but I think they are enjoying it. They are working on abridged versions of some classics. I am also finishing up Modulo 2 of the adult class at John Drury. The course feels more like an English opn house than an actual class, which I have varying patience for depending on the day (You can guess what kind of day today was). In the afternoons I have been going to Semillas every day and have loved the chance to hang out so much with all our kids. I will definitely miss them when I go back to school in April. So, that is the blitzkrieg version of what I have been up to work-wise.

A couple random weekend activites from the past couple days so you get a feel for what we do: Saturday I went to an artisan market and saw Saw 7 (yes, they made 7) in Guayaquil. Sunday I hung out at Sugey and Lisettes and Monday I after Semillas I went to Cynthia´s to celebrate her graduation from college. A little of everything, and all good except maybe Saw. There was a mysterious spot of blood on my shirt on Sunday and now Danielle and Ricardo, who work with us at program, are trying to convince me I´m the next victim.
