Culture and tradition week!

Culture and tradition week

At the school and the afternoon classes we had a very interesting week. We let the children and adults reflect about what is typical for a culture. They thought about what makes a culture so special. Things such as food, clothing, nature, celebrations... After a short introduction the students got to make a presentation about their own Ecuadorian culture. They worked together in groups to make a beautiful poster about their country. Afterwards they even got to present their poster in front of the class. It was so nice to see them talk about their own country, but in English of course ;) The little kids learned about the colours of the rainbow. At friday we taught them the rainbow song and a little dance. They loved it!

We also welcomed a new volunteer in the volunteer house. Her name is Anna and she is from Belgium. She will be staying with us for 3 months and is very excited to work with the kids from the community.
