A few things to report since April the 9th.
I have begun to teach English to just the SKIP secondary kids on a Saturday morning in Indoamericano. This is a lot more stress free as these kids are a lot more co-operative and enthusiastic to learn. This is just for one hour.
There a few trainee teachers that volunteer for SKIP on a Saturday morning. In return SKIP offer support with their English. I was supposed to have a class this Thursday but it didn’t happen. Another class is scheduled for this Thursday so we'll see what happens.

I am not sure if I have mentioned that from the money I raised prior to coming to Peru, I gave SKIP a substantial amout which went ot buying shoes and school uniforms. Here are a few photos of the material being distributed:
We have taught the kids how to describe their country and other countries. Last week we taught then how to say what food they liked. They particularly enjoyed this lesson as Peruvians can be quite passionate about their food. Here is a photo of the kids taking the exam we gave them a few weeks ago:
It was my birthday last Sunday. I turned 24. Birthdays are a big deal in Peru; they are keen to acknowledge them.
Last week, I and 3 other volunteers went to Lima. I got my flight ticket reissued. It was a good trip. It was just relaxing to not be teaching for a change and to see another part of Peru. I have been in Peru over 3 and half months now. Here are a few photos from Lima.
Classes with the SKIP kids on a Friday afternoon are going good. It gives the kids an opportunity to get help with their homework. After the lesson, I take the kids for football.
My inter-cambio started back up this week with my teacher Tatiana. We had two sessions this week and i feel they make a difference. I hope to take an A-level in Spanish when I return home.
Possibly at the end of this week, I and some volunteers will be going to a place called Iquitos. It takes 3 days to get there by boat up a river. I hope we get to go as I am leaving Peru in 6 weeks and feel I haven’t saw much. It will be interesting to see the Amazon Jungle.
Not much else to report. As always, any questions send me an e-mail at m1572202@qub.ac.uk
Adios
