A quick update and a cute video

Hi All,

To make up for the lack of pictures in last weeks blog I have added a video.
Every Friday night I teach English classes for 3 hours to 3 different groups.  The last one starts at 7, and although is only supposed to last an hour we hang out sometimes until after 10pm.  Last night we practiced English, taught and learned magic tricks and then they wanted to serenade me.  Here is a little taste of how amazing these kids are:

Then I woke up this morning, bright and early after a great nights sleep and was invited to watch a kids Tipico dance class, I am so glad I figured out that I can upload videos to this blog!

  This is me and my



My day continued with a hike through a chyote farm to find a Nobe Indian family who just moved to town.  They live in a one room dirt floor and plastic sheeting hut and take care of the Chyote.  They have 7 kids.  When the kids started school last week none of them had a notebook or paper, pencils, or any other materials to do their school work.  I am very lucky to have the friends that I do, because Haley and Jess sent me an awesome care package with a bunch of stuff for kids, including school supplies.  Y entonces I set forth on my hike this morning to bring them supplies and toys.  The pure joy on these childrens faces was very picture worthy, however in their culture it is a bad omen to have their picture taken and since I am still getting to know the family didn't want to push my luck.  They kids were so happy to have thier school supplies and each one promised me to study hard in English and all their other subjects.  Now if only I could figure out a way to build them a house and buy them shoes.  As you can probably tell my work here is more than fufilling, sometimes tough, but mostly just good.  As much as I really love the moments of instant satisfaction the true test will be if the projects stick around after I am gone.
