March 10th-16th
It has been another long week of sports at my school so I do not have anything to report that's new. I think that sports is almost over so I will hopefully be getting back on track soon, that will be nice I am going a bit crazy. I decided that I am going to design a tanning or I would say more awareness of people with disabilities so that I can educate the local people and teachers more about what causes disability's and how they can help. I also want to present it to the incoming Peace corps volunteers when they come in. I have been wanting to work on this power point for a long time and now I found the time. When it is all done I will post my outline for you all to read. Any ways that's what I have been working on at school when I am not involved in the sports.
Dorothy Hopkins was grate last week, me and the other volunteer decided to work on a case by case basis for each resident and brake down the steps of the crafts. We worked on goals for them as well. It was interesting to watch them go from not really having instruction to having a step by step brake down that they needed to follow. Some of the residents liked it better than others. They still had fun but are trying to provide them with some new skills. I also stayed for the conscious discipline training, that was fun. We worked on how much of the language is verbal, body language and sound. Body language is first, then sound and then words. That was amazing to me that people do not pick up on the words first. Any ways that was a grate session and I am hoping to get my school into the tanning program as well.
White Cane is going grate I am seeing a big improvement in the people that I work with, I am hoping that we get some people to buy bottles soon so we can keep improving and getting more supplies. I with that I will be in a new building soon and will have my own little space to help and teach them to paint. I am soooo exited.
This weekend I went out and danced and then Sunday I went hiking in the rain to a water fall. It was a lot of fun and it fly nice because I was nice and cool. Then we went to a small cave that was on the coast. Spectacular view of the ocean and when we got their we found a small little cave with bats and cool rocks. It was a much needed fun adventure.
