Sunday, June 6,2010-Zanzibar day 13

Sunday was our last teaching at the village before we went to the schools to finally do what we came here to do. Teach the kids in the schools!

We did some prepping for school teachings and I found out Id be teaching standard 4, which are kids ages 9-12. I was really excited to teach the youngest group and came up with a bunch of fun games to play with them.

We were supposed to finish teaching the women of michamvi pingue today and then found out that they had a wedding and might not show, so Estela and I stayed and put everything together for our lesson on Monday the whole time the other groups were gone. We "laminated" our posters and signs with tape so we could keep them for the rest of the trip and colored, glued, drew and pasted.

When everyone came home we realized it was almost dark and time for dinner. Were finally having better food, partially because I think they are embarrassed to feed us so terribly with the other guests around, and partially because we've been complaining, but I am happy nonetheless.

I talked to a woman who was staying at the hotel with her family. She had been traveling with her family for the better part of a year and ths was their last stop before going home and they were having nothing but problems with the place. She told me to stand up for myself especially if I've been getting sick, and the next thing I hear, they've cancelled the next 8 days of their stay here and went somewhere else.

That's a little insight into our living arrangements although I still feel awful complaining. I just don't like to be sick when I have a full day of teaching.
