Day 1 Writing by : Laura Pitarch Medina 16 July 2018

Today, 17th of July was our first complete day in the campsite. 

Firstly, we met at 8:00 to have breakfast all together and after we went to Ava's and Jenne's house to start knowing each other a little bit better. 

To do so, we introduced ourselves, age, nationality, jobs... We also played a card game called Die Fiesen 7 to break the ice! After that we prepared the classes for the kids for Tuesday and Wednesday. It was very exciting to think all the activities that we can teach and do with the kids, I am sure it will be very fun! We prepared different activities like music and dancing, ball games and many more in order to teach them English through the games. 

Around 12:00 we had lunch all together, showing how to say "thanks for the food" in different languages. I think it will take some time to remember all of them! 

In the afternoon we did plenty of sightseeing! First of all we visited a temple, where people goes to collect water. After that we headed to the rice fields. That was the best part of all! The views were impressive over there. We could see how people was working and preparing the rice plants. We got there by truck, and the way was all about jumping and bumping! Bit scary but very fun! 

On the way back the people of the village prepared us a welcome ceremony. It was really warm and nice to receive that gesture from them. The ceremony represents the 32 gods that take care for the 32 organs. At the end of the ceremony we received white bracelets. At the end of the day we gathered all together to prepare the last things for the classes and we played board games again. All and all it was an intense and really surprising day! 

Looking forward for the next incoming days.
