Busy busy.... But I was told I HAD to write on my blog....

On a side note, my Peace Corps’ friend had asked me to go to Honduras with her. Why you may ask? But of course….to go to Wendy’s. That’s the only reason that we spent a Saturday traveling back and forth to Honduras. It was fun though. A little adventure in our lives.



Big accomplishment. We finished the construction of the preschool classroom that I wrote a grant for. It turned out great and they are already using it every day.
I also have given three teacher workshops. Two of which were about gardening and the last was about using trash to make different things that can be used in the classroom. I also added some ideas about teaching the concept of multiplication. The first workshop I put on with the help of four teachers that I had been working with. It was amazing. They remembered everything that I had told them! I was so proud. They lead the workshop and they hardly needed my assistance. There was a part when we actually made a garden outside so they could see and practice the techniques. All the teachers that attended said that was the best part because they could apply what we were talking about! The next workshop was about taking seeds out of the vegetables, composting, and dealing with the plagues (problems) in the soil. Again I was assisted by another teacher, another peace corps’ volunteer and a worker of an agriculture government group. Another teacher that I previously worked with and I developed the last workshop.


It was great. I love working with trash as most of you know so I really enjoyed sharing my ideas and seeing my teacher of last year show her ideas that she now using as a result of what I had taught her. I also touched on some ideas on how to teach multiplication since it seems to be an issue here.



Also, I recently was given the pleasure to assist all you very generous people who donated computers to three of the schools here. Although I can’t say that I had anything to do with it in reality, I can tell you that the teachers and students are going to be ecstatic to have the computers. It is really going to help advance the teachers in their instruction. Hopefully the students will also start learning how to use a computer. Things move slowly here. So I am trying my best to get everything ready so that the computers can be put into the schools, kept safe and secure, and used properly. However, due to construction in the schools as well as lack of school attendance, it has been difficult to achieve. I will update you all as soon as the computers are in the schools. But thank you from myself and my community for being so generous and thinking of the needs of others.
