Indoor market this morning. I was in charge of maths. Stop laughing, I was working with the youngest group (3 and 4 year-olds). They were given a worksheet with two pigs on it, one thin and one fat, and they had to stick pieces of paper on the fat pig. We then painted a section for the Ecuadorian flag the children are making(I stood well away as they were painting with their hands). We are also teaching the children the Barney song to sing at the end of summer programme celebrations next week, as well as a short poem about the Ecuadorian flag.
In the afternoon I stayed in the office with Lulí and another volunteer to prepare pictures, bow ties and banners for the aforementioned celebrations. We traced and coloured in the pictures (the children have to be able to identify them; my freehand drawings might have been a bit too abstract for them!). The bow ties were made out of crepe paper and sellotape. I was very glad that I was in the office as it poured with rained. I mean, it was a mini monsoon. The roads turned into rivers instantly. The other volunteers returned to the office soaked to the skin! The rain stopped briefly and I make it home just before it started again. Due to the torrential rain and lightning, there was no electricity when I got home, but I was able to read my Kindle thanks to my fantastic light. It came back on after an hour.
