Everyone here is so happy and pretty. They are a true joy to be around. The countryside is so beautiful, too. I find my Spanish being put to the test, but my home stay definitely improved my skills. The food was quite magnificent and a riveting change for me. My host sister Milena was so gracious for little things like the small candies I gave her and for me reading to her.
The Cloud Forest School is so innovative, and they use everything they have. Digging the two-meter holes for the bathrooms was a new experience. After I saw the completed holes, I felt a wave of pride wash over me. Although most of our work seemed to be raking, I still felt very helpful.
The third grade girls were so sweet and excited to play with us. They really got joy from our time together. They asked for all of our phone numbers and emails, and we were happy to give the info to them! I really hope we keep in touch, so that I can hear about their eventful time at the school.
