Journal: -------------------------------------------Mood: The Usual
things are going famously here in Addis Abeba, Ethiopia. i am teaching children in an after school thingee and they are so adorable! i want to take them all home with me haha.
the challenge is finding a way of accomodating the huge range in english skills... 6yr olds know a little less than 13 yr olds lol.
i also started helping at a soup kitchen kind of thing where we serve 700 homeless men lunch. it is heartbreaking and i cried the first night every time i thought about the magnitude of the situation
spending time with my friends has been awesome. i know that leaving in a months time is going to suck and i will be an absolute mess by the time i get back to New Zealand but i guess thats how it goes..
hope all is well with you and yours
