So now it is already 4 weeks since I am a little sad and excited, rose in Frankfurt on the plane.
If I'm honest it does me a lot time ago, but that's probably because I have already settled quite well.
But I'll start from scratch ...
My flights were both ok and my 10 hour stay in Sao Paulo became quite nice. I was fortunate to make it there at the airport to the acquaintance of some Bolivians to me willingly answered all my questions about the country and to me, reducing the waiting time extreme.
the airport of Santa Cruz, I was then picked up and brought directly to the children's village. Although I was already pretty broken after 26 stuendiger arrival looked I first had roughly the children's village on.
was tired but then I pretty much go to bed.
The next morning or afternoon (I slept late) then showed me the other volunteers (we are five in total) First the children's village and then the inner city. The Children's Village consists of several family houses as already described for a total of 120 children's children. Connected to the Children's Village also a school which is also used by children who do not live at the orphanage and a kindergarten. The kindergarten is exclusively attended by children who do not live at the orphanage.
I myself live in a guesthouse on the grounds of the orphanage, not in a family. In addition to an approximately 8 square meters room, I even have a private bathroom, here is what real luxury. 
In the hallway outside my room is also a small kitchen. I have but not yet used to the fridge and kettle, cooked for us because of a Tia is. The food mostly. However, it is quite fatty, and it is inevitable that one sometimes gets an upset stomach.
My daily schedule looks like right now that I am in kindergarten work. Usually I'm in the smallest group in the 0-2 year old, very cute but also loud as if all start to cry together. In kindergarten, all imaginable holidays are celebrated. For example, the
was Fruehlingsanfang (yes with us now, spring) is celebrated with a beautiful spring holiday. Last week we had celebrated
also the day of Santa Cruz and all the children marching.

After lunch we work at the orphanage. Mostly, we first help with homework or tutoring especially in English. Will be followed by free time. Together with other volunteers, we have 2 times a week to dance and Akkrobatikkurse that are very well accepted by children.
Otherwise, we of course play a lot with the children, from the UN, various fishing games, etc.
are very excited of course, also the children from any kind of spinning around. I do already sore from all the aircraft.

As soon as my English is better but I will work with the social worker of the facility. Unfortunately, this speaks only English, and just in terms Fachausdruecke mmmhhh ... ... I have to learn a little more.
course, we have in between times also free. I used this mainly to drink every time in the city for respectable NEN cappuccino and of course to access the Internet. On weekends, we go as far as political conditions permit sometimes at night in the city.
the moment but there are no riots in the city and it is very quiet.
Finally I would like to say that I really like very much and so far my expectations have been fully satisfied.
And now many greetings
your Anna
