Allison's First Blog!

So far we have had a wonderful time here in Honduras! The first day was really long, but it was worth all the traveling to be able to meet all these kids. Today Chris, Debbie, Kate, my mom, and I went to the elementary school to give the kids letters that Ausitn and my Spanish class wrote. They then wrote some letters back to the kids! The first and second graders had a harder time with it, but we helped them write and they drew a lot of pictures. The fifth and sixth graders were wonderful and wrote suprising long letters back. It was a neat experience to see their school, and how different it is from anything that I have ever attended. The kids get done with school and noon so when they came back we just hung around with them and talked. I am really surpised at how much spanish I actually know. I am able to communicate really well which really surprised me!

Kali, Kim, and I found out really fast today that the girls LOVE temporary tatoos. They basically ripped them out of our hands! That was really fun too. They are also very good photographers and i-touch users! It is kind of amazing.

The food here is SO good! We had the best chinese food I have ever had on Saturday. Sounds weird right? Well there is actually a fairly large Chinese population in Honduras.

I am bloging from the new building at the Hogar which has a preschool, some computer rooms, and of course the water treatment plant. We got a tour of that yestarday and it sounds really cool. They are really excited for it to be up and running!

Well I have to get back to the kids!
Saludos,
