new home

so i moved into the orphanage for the next 3 ish weeks b-c they are short on volunteers there for now.
so i´m living with all the kids.
i told the other volunteers that if i start talking about hating the kids that they have to make me move back to the volunteer house!
all the supplies for the kids are kept in the volunteer room, so most of the ´free time´is spent answering the door as every kid asks for a book or a toy or crayons etc etc etc.
they are quite demanding.
cute though, but demanding.

i´m hoping to get a quote for the price of a propper plumber and for someone to repair the showers. these are huge issues at the hogar, and i´m hoping i can raise some funds back home to cover these costs. for sanitation reasons alone.

today at the campesino project i was telling the kinder to stop talking while ´their teacher´ was talking.
i was told that i´m not their teacher, i´m a gringo.
fantastic.
thanks kid.
glad i came all this way.

i can laugh about it now.
